Eisha batted .600 and picked up two victories in the circle as Knox went 2-2 last week against Midwest Conference South foes Monmouth College and Grinnell College.

Eisha was 9-for-15 at the plate with three home runs, three doubles, five walks, 10 RBIs, and nine runs scored in games against the Fighting Scots on April 17 and the Pioneers on April 19.  She raised her batting average over 30 points during the four-game stretch.

Knox ran its winning streak against Grinnell to eight straight with the sweep, and Eisha earned the pitching victories in both games – one in relief and the other in a starting role.

In Knox's 14-6 and 22-1 victories at Grinnell, Eisha had five hits in seven at-bats (.714) – including one home run and one double – drove in six runs and scored five.  She also drew four walks, one of them intentional.

Eisha pitched a combined nine innings in the two games against the Pioneers.  She allowed no earned runs, seven hits (six of them singles), and struck out 10 to shave one-half of a run off of her earned run average.

Eisha also extended her hitting streak to 11 games.  She ended the week leading the Prairie Fire in batting average (.419), hits (39), home runs (5), RBIs (24), runs scored (24), total bases (63), and on base percentage (.455).

Eisha took over the Midwest Conference lead in total hits and ranks in the top five in four other offensive categories.
