Ginter posted two combined shutouts and a complete game, striking out 26 with two walks in 17.0 innings pitched while holding batters to a .140 batting average.
The former Shawnee Heights star tossed five innings in Friday's series opener against Lincoln, facing the minimum in five innings while striking out 10 Blue Tigers. She came in the second game in relief, tossing 2.0 innings and striking out five while allowing three hits.
In Saturday's first game against UCM, she tossed 7.0 innings while allowing three hits and holding the Jennies scoreless through 6 and 2/3 innings before UCM scored an unearned run. In the second game, Ginter tossed 3.0 innings in relief, striking out five with one walk.
The Ichabods will return to the field next weekend with conference twinbills at Missouri Western and Northwest Missouri.
