Same pitcher? If so, that’s gotta be some kind of record.
No, Ashley Hitchcock pitched Game 2. Jenna and Karli each hit another homer in Game 2, so still tied. The rest of the team added 5 more homers in the DH.

This team is insanely talented.
Spaid hit one in the early game, but not the late game. Current tally is Golembiewski 24, Spaid 23. Third place in the country had 15 going into the day.
I looked it up and it appears that the all time D1 single season record is 37. With 18 games remaining and both averaging about 0.7 HRs per game, they’re on pace to hit 12-13 more over the course of the regular season, which would put them right on the cusp of that record going into the conference and NCAA tournaments.
More accurate than you probably even realized when you posted this.

Miami gets 4 runs in the top of the 5th and now leads 4-1 going into the bottom half of the inning. Big 2-run single by Kobayashi in the inning.

Homers are cool, but nice to be able to string hits together, too.
