The Hematites’ field is still unplayable, forcing the move to Westwood’s home field.

Emma Bleau was the winning pitcher in both games, throwing a one-hitter over five innings in the first game before relieving Kayla Kaukola in the final two innings of the nightcap.

Corey Kevern, the losing pitcher for Gwinn in the first game, collected the only hit for the Modeltowners while allowing nine hits on the mound.

In the second game, Gwinn’s offense came alive to pull into a 5-5 tie heading into the bottom of the fifth before Ishpeming’s Corey Copola drove in her sister Taylor Copola for a walkoff hit.

“We saw some really great pitching from both girls all night that carried us,” Ishpeming head coach Ben McGuire said of his team’s sweep. “We hit the ball really hard and never gave up.”

Ishpeming (6-1) plays a doubleheader on the road at Gladstone at 4 p.m. Thursday.
