MARSHFIELD — Lexi Dupee went a combined 5-for-6 with five RBIs and homered in both games of Marshfield’s doubleheader sweep of Wausau East on Thursday at the Marshfield Fairgrounds.

Marshfield won 17-0 in three innings and 14-3 in six innings.

The Tigers end their regular season with a 13-12 record and a 7-5 mark in the Wisconsin Valley Conference. Wausau East is now 2-16, 0-12 in the Valley.

Jenna Jakobi was 5-for-7 and hit a home run, and Megan Donahue was 3-for-3 with four RBIs in Game 1 and smacked a home run in Game 2 for Marshfield.

Marshfield scored 16 runs in the second inning of the opener to win in just 2 ½ innings.

Kaitlyn Konrardy struck out seven to win the second game. Donahue struck out the side in both innings she pitched to earn the victory in Game 1.
