Jerrick became the first player in MSU program history to notch
three career multiple home run games when she launched two homers while driving
in a school single-game record six runs Sunday against Western New
Mexico.
The outbreak included her second collegiate grand slam as she
homered in consecutive innings.

a hit in each of the Mustangs' six games accounting for four doubles and three
home runs out of her league leading 12 hits.
