MILWAUKEE - The Wisconsin Lutheran College
softball team was swept by Northern Athletics Conference preseason
favorite Benedictine University 11-2 and 16-0 Saturday afternoon at
Warrior Field.
The Eagles jumped on top of the Warriors with three runs on
three hits in the first inning. However, WLC quickly answered by
scoring one run in both the first and second innings. RBI doubles
from junior Morgan Dittmar (Oostburg, Wis./Manitowoc Lutheran) and
freshman Jocelyn Bykowski (Greendale, Wis./Greendale) spotted the
Warriors their two runs. BU added another score in the third for a
4-2 lead.
The Warriors and Eagles followed with three scoreless innings as
the score stood 4-2 in favor of BU entering the seventh. WLC
threatened in both the fourth and fifth innings, but stranded a
pair of runners on base in each of those frames.
Benedictine broke open its two-run lead in the seventh by
scoring seven runs on seven hits.
Bykowski, sophomore Lauren Mantz (West Bend, Wis./Kettle Moraine
Lutheran) and freshman Mindy Schalinske (Burlington, Wis./Shoreland
Lutheran) had two hits each for WLC.
The Eagles busted out their bats in game two by scoring 16 runs
on 14 hits. BU opened the game with three runs in the first, six in
the second and four more in the third. The game was ended after
five innings due to run rule.
Senior Katie Sloan (Omaha, Neb./Nebraska Lutheran) went 2-for-2
in game two for the Warriors.
Wisconsin Lutheran (3-11, 0-4 NAC) concludes its six-game,
conference-opening homestand Sunday afternoon when it hosts
Concordia University Chicago at 12 p.m. at Warrior Field.
