VERMILLION, S.D.—South Dakota State pitcher Grace Glanzer allowed five hits and had five strikeouts to lead the Jackrabbits to a 4-1 win against South Dakota in the rubber match of a three-game series Sunday at Nygaard Field.
 
Glanzer (12-3) earned both wins in the circle for SDSU over the weekend. She allowed one hit in four innings during a game two win Saturday that evened the series at 1-1. The Coyotes worked into opportunities to score Sunday, but Glanzer didn't allow a hit in five chances with runners in scoring position.
 
A fielding error allowed South Dakota State to take a 2-0 lead in the second inning. A big blow came in the fourth when Rozelyn Carrillo hit her third home run of the series. It was a solo shot to straightaway center that made it 3-0. Back-to-back walks and a hit by pitch produced the fourth run in the seventh.
 
South Dakota's best chance came in the bottom of the sixth. Courtney Wilson led off with her second hit of the game and Rylee Nicholson drew the only walk Glanzer issued to put two on with no one out.
 
Glanzer deflected a hard hit ground ball by Aleesia Sainz enough for Carrillo, the shortstop, to record an out at first. Jordyn Pender's RBI groundout scored Wilson from third to make it 3-1. Glanzer's fifth and final strikeout got her out of the jam.
 
The Coyotes (18-16) went 3-3 during their first home stand of the season. They came against the two teams predicted to content for the title. USD hits the road for the first time in Summit play next week against newcomer St. Thomas in Minnesota. The Tommies (7-23) are also 3-3 through two weekends and will be playing their first Summit series at home.
