She allowed only six hits in her 11 innings of work.

Dunckel, a sophomore infielder from Valley Center, Calif., hit .692 (9 of 13), drove in three runs and scored 11 times. Dunckel drew three walks and was twice hit by a pitch, giving her an on-base percentage of .778. She also stole four bases in as many attempts.

Upton, a senior pitcher-first baseman from Pauls Valley, hit .600 with 11 RBIs. In the two games on Saturday, Upton hit two home runs against both Midwestern State and Texas-Permian Basin, finishing the weekend with a 1.900 slugging percentage. She also pitched the first two innings of a combined no-hitter in a 15-1 win over UTPB (with Madison Hagood finishing it off).
