Description: FARGO The Kansas City softball team took a big lead in the early innings and cruised to a 10-5 win over North Dakota State on Sunday at Tharaldson Park.

The Roos took two of three from the Bison over the weekend. NDSU fell to 4-11 in the Summit League and 17-33 overall while the Roos left town 6-9 in the league and 18-27 overall.



Kansas City's Lexy Smith hit a three-run home run to left-center field in the first inning and a fourth Roos run scored on a throwing error. Another NDSU error in the second inning factored in KC's three-run inning and 7-0 lead.


The Bison briefly rallied in the second and third innings to trim the Roos' lead to four runs. In the second, Reanna Rudd and Ella Claus reached on singles and Rylee Henderson drove in Rudd with a single down the left field line.



In the third, Emilee Buringa doubled to right-center field and Rudd launched a two-run homer to left.



But KC came right back in the fourth. Smith led off with a triple and Briona Woods followed with an RBI double to left. Woods later scored on a groundout. In the sixth, Woods led off with a single and later scored on Elleana Navarro's RBI single to left.


The Bison again tried to rebound in the bottom of the seventh. Taylinn Warren and Macy Fry hit back-to-back singles and Warren scored on Bella Dean's double to right-center. Rudd singled in Fry and Jasmyn Yessian drew a two-out walk to load the bases. But Roos pitcher Camryn Stickel got a groundout to end the game and pick up her second win of the weekend.



Rudd was 3 for 3 with the homer and three runs batted in. Buringa doubled twice, Dean was 1 for 3 with an RBI and Henderson had a hit and an RBI.



Smith led the Roos going 3 for 4 with a homer, triple and four RBIs. Woods and Navarro both had two hits and two RBIs and Abby Husak was 3 for 5.



The Bison close out the regular season with three games at South Dakota on May 3-4. The Summit League Softball Championship is May 8-11 at South Dakota State's Jackrabbit Softball Stadium in Brookings, S.D.
