Collins, who entered Saturday's doubleheader against Grinnell with just one home run in 283 collegiate plate appearances, went 5-for-8 with three round-trippers and seven runs batted in on the day. In the opener, a 14-5 Forester victory, she belted a two-run homer to tie the score in the bottom of the first inning and a go-ahead two-run homer in the second. She also tied game two with a two-run home run in the first and again on a run-scoring single in the sixth. Lake Forest eventually won 9-8 to complete a sweep of the top team in this year's MWC Preseason Coaches Poll.
