LEESBURG, Fla.—South Dakota overcame an early 5-0 deficit and scored two runs in its final at bat to top Central Michigan 6-5 Sunday on the Coyotes' final day at The Spring Games.
 
Second baseman Lauren Wobken and freshman pitcher Peyton Maher were the heroes. Wobken roped a three-run double in the top of the fifth inning to bring South Dakota within a run at 5-4, and then tied the game at 5-5 in the seventh with a base hit up the middle.
 
It was an errant throw by Central Michigan's catcher during a rundown that allowed Lauren Eamiguel to score from third with the go-ahead run. Eamiguel and Wobken both had two hits during the game. Mia Kraimer, listed as a pitcher, started at shortstop for the short-handed Coyotes and had two hits of her own. Camille Fowler was 3-for-4 with two runs scored.
 
Maher, making her second appearance of the season, pitched five no-hit innings in relief to earn her first collegiate victory. Just two walks were all she surrendered and she had one strikeout.
 
New Mexico State 2, South Dakota 1
A seventh-inning, one-out single off the glove of South Dakota pitcher Sarah Lisko plated the tying run and winning run in New Mexico State's 2-1 win in Sunday's finale. Lisko (2-3) took a shutout into the final frame, but two singles, a sacrifice bunt and the ricochet made her the hard-luck loser despite a career-best six strikeouts.
 
Eamiguel doubled and scored on a ground ball from Wobken in the top of the first. But that's all Chloe Rivas surrendered. Rivas (2-0) allowed just three hits – all singles – past the first inning and struck out three while walking one.
 
Fowler hit a team-best .429 (9-for-21) during the tournament with a triple. She stole five bases and scored four times. Wobken and Skylar Arellano drove in five runs each.
 
South Dakota (4-8) will stay in the Sunshine State for Spring Break. The Coyotes will play doubleheaders at Stetson Wednesday and at FAU Friday before starting a three-game weekend series at FIU.
