Box Score Box score

LISLE, Ill. - Benedictine University started right where it left off in game one on Friday afternoon by collecting a 19-0 victory in five innings over Wisconsin Lutheran in the second game of its Northern Athletics Conference doubleheader at the Village of Lisle-BU Sports Complex.

After freshman starting pitcher Katie Timm (Franklin, Wis./Franklin) kept Benedictine scoreless in the first inning, the Eagles busted out with six runs on four hits, with help from two WLC errors in the second inning. BU added three runs in the third and then erupted for a 10-spot in the fourth inning put the game out of reach as it ended in five innings.

A double by junior Katie Sloan (Omaha, Neb./Nebraska Lutheran) and a single from sophomore Morgan Dittmar (Oostburg, Wis./Manitowoc Lutheran) accounted for the only two hits for WLC in the game. Timm received the loss (2-3), giving up eight earned runs in 4.0 innings pitched. The seven errors committed by Wisconsin Lutheran were a season high.

Lisa Rybak had three hits with an RBI and Kara Walsh knocked in three runs to pace the BU (11-4, 2-0 NAC) offense, which had 14 hits. Sam Corban earned the win (1-0) by pitching 3.1 shutout innings in relief of starter Kaitlin Walsh.

Wisconsin Lutheran (3-9, 0-4 NAC) concludes its six-game conference road trip with a doubleheader at Concordia University Chicago in River Forest, Ill., on Tuesday, April 6. First pitch of game one is scheduled for 3 p.m.
