John Carroll entered play on Saturday  needing a few wins and some help to jump back into the OAC playoff race.

Muskingum struck first with two runs in the first inning, and that was all the Muskies needed, winning 4-1 in game two.
Brianna Lach allowed four runs in five innings, falling to 4-6 on the season.
The Blue Streaks had trouble against  Rachel Eberling (7-8), managing one hit in six innings. JCU put two on with hits in the seventh, but Kristin Gill slammed the door for her first save.
