The Wolfpack split a road twin bill with Columbia-Burbank, losing 4-3 then winning 11-8 on May 12.

In the nightcap, DW pounced on them 3-2 in the first inning, added another three runs in the third inning for a 6-4 lead and battled through the later innings for five more runs for the 11-8 victory.
In their May 10 homestand against TriCities Prep, the Wolfpack let a nice lead evaporate with an 11-run fifth inning to trail the Lady Jaguars 15-9. But DW rallied with eight runs in the bottom of the fifth to retake the lead 17-15.
The Wolfpack counted one more run in the sixth, then held TCP to two runs in the top of the seventh for the 18-17 win.
The bats rang in the second game, a 17-7 five-inning slugfest for DW. DW racked up 17 hits to TCP's three.
