Calvin dropped both ends of a doubleheader to nationally-ranked Trine University on Saturday, falling by scores of 6-0 and 8-0. The Thunder came into the twinbill ranked fifth nationally.

Trine then added four insurance runs in the sixth to help seal the win.

Senior Caitlin Callow (Muskegon/Muskegon Catholic Central HS) took the loss for Calvin to fall to 11-5 on the year.

In game two, Trine used eight hits and four Calvin errors to put away the Knights in six innings in a game shortened by the mercy-rule.
