MILWAUKEE - Wisconsin Lutheran College was
defeated by Dominican University 9-1 in the first game of a NAC
softball doubleheader on Wednesday afternoon at Warrior Field.
The Stars scored early on the Warriors, capitalizing on three
errors to plate four runs on just one hit in the top of the first
inning. Dominican added to its lead in the third when it scored one
run for a 5-0 lead. The Warriors managed just one hit through the
first three innings of the contest.
After the visitors scored three more times in the fourth,
Wisconsin Lutheran responded by tallying its lone run of the game
in the bottom half of the frame. Junior Ashley Zautner's (Sun
Prairie, Wis./Sun Prairie) RBI single scored Morgan Dittmar
(Oostburg, Wis./Manitowoc Lutheran), who led off the inning with a
double.
The score remained 8-1 in favor of the Stars until the sixth
when they added their final run. WLC was unable to push a run
across the plate and the contest ended after six innings due to run
rule.
Dittmar was responsible for two of the Warriors' four hits on
the afternoon. Junior Jenny Boelk (Fond du Lac, Wis./Winnebago
Lutheran) went two innings and was tagged with the loss for
WLC.
Carolyn Rogers went 3-for-3 with four RBIs and three runs scored
to pace Dominican (12-7, 4-3 NAC). Jori Cicale gave up just one run
on four hits in six innings of work to earn the win for the Stars.
