In six games, Jenkins recorded 10 hits, added eight RBIs, and scored eight runs of which four of those hits were for extra base.  She also smashed three homeruns, after batting .952 (10-for-21) at the plate to help Missouri-St. Louis to a 6-0 record last week.  At Quincy, Jenkins went 4-for-8 with a homerun, collected two RBIs, and two runs scored.  She followed her performance at home in Missouri-St. Louis’ sweep of Missouri S&T going 5-of-7, including a 4-for-4 performance in game two, in which she had two homeruns, five RBIs, and scored four runs. The Bethalto, Ill., native finished the week with six put outs, five assists, and one double.
