Akron kept the Golden Flashes without a run before their offense got back to their scoring ways the next inning.

Western Michigan 2, Ohio 1
Box Score
KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- The Western Michigan softball team wrapped up the 2025 season winning its final two games and taking the series from Ohio at Fran Ebert Field on Saturday and Sunday. 

The Broncos opened the weekend falling to the Bobcats, 10-4 in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. WMU rebounded to win 4-1 in the second game and then defeated OU, 2-1 on Sunday. 

Gremillion got the start in Sunday's season finale and turned in a spectacular performance to end her collegiate career. She recorded another complete game, striking out two batters and allowing just one run. 

Ohio struck first in the top of the first when Brenna Farme doubled to right-center to score Cici Keidel. But that was it. Gremillion got the Broncos out of any jam after that to keep the Bobcats off the board for the remainder of the game. 

WMU finally broke through in the bottom of the sixth inning. Jordan Smith singled to right center to score Head and move Haleigh Smith to third. Tighe then singled to center field to plate Haleigh and give the Broncos a 2-1 lead. 

Lauren Yuhas walked to open the top of the seventh and then stole second base. Keidel flied out to left field for the first out and then WMU opted to intentionally walk Brenna Farmer to make the force out at any base. But that didn't factor, because Gremillion got Hoffner to fly out to shallow center and then Izzie Wilson flied out to left to end the game.
