GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Calvin celebrated Senior Day with a doubleheader sweep over conference foe Albion Saturday afternoon at the Gainey Athletic Complex.

Prior to the twinbill, Calvin (22-5 overall, 7-3 MIAA) honored seniors Jessica Brasser (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grand Rapids Christian HS), Kaley Frank (Edwardsburg, Mich./Edwardsburg HS) and Kimiko Hinatsu (Romeo, Mich./Romeo HS) who were playing in their final home games.

Calvin junior Anna Gernant (West Des Moines, Ia./Valley HS) tossed her second no-hitter of the season and the fourth of her career in the opener. Freshman Ellie Borst (Hudsonville, Mich./Unity Christian HS) followed with a three-hit shutout in game two.

In game one, Calvin put together a 15-hit attack with Brasser, junior Maddie DeGroot (Hudsonville, Mich./Unity Christian HS) and Kristen Newman (Chelsea, Mich./Chelsea HS) collecting three hits apiece.

Calvin broke the game open with a five-run second inning keyed by a two-run homer by Newman - her fourth home run of the season. Newman went 3-for-3 in the game with four RBI. DeGroot was 3-for-3 with two runs scored while Brasser was 3-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBI.

Frank and junior Abby Colon (Caledonia, Mich./South Christian HS) had two hits apiece with Colon also driving in three runs. DeGroot, Brasser, Colon, Newman and sophomore Kayla Groen (Frankfort, Il./Lincoln Way East HS) all had doubles.

Gernant (8-3) struck out 11 Albion batters without a walk. Two Albion runners reached base on Calvin errors.

In game two, Albion traded goose eggs with Calvin through four innings before the Knights broke through for a four-run fifth and added single runs in the sixth and seventh to provide Borst an ample supply of run support.

Borst (11-2) struck out seven batters, walked two and scattered three hits. Brasser, freshman Grace Stock (Vicksburg, Mich./Vicksburg HS) and junior Rachel Borden (Edwardsburg, Mich./Edwardsburg HS) all had two hits apiece. Frank had a two-run RBI single in the fifth. Brasser, Stock and Colon all batted in a run.

"It was a good day for our team because we picked up two more important conference wins," said Calvin softball coach Becky Hilgert. "We came ready to play and were aggressive at the plate. Anna and Ellie gave us two great pitching performances. Right now we are just focused on the next game in front of us. Our league is as challenging as any in the country right now so our focus needs to be on the task at hand."

Calvin returns to action on Monday when it travels to rival Hope for a key conference doubleheader slated to start at 4 p.m.
