MILWAUKEE - The Wisconsin Lutheran College
softball team was swept Sunday in a conference home doubleheader
against Aurora. The Warriors dropped both games by scores of 13-1
and 10-0 in five innings.
Aurora jumped on top early as it scored four times in the first
inning, once in the second, three in the third, two in the fourth,
and three in the fifth. WLC's only run of the game came in the
second inning on a RBI single to second base from junior Kendra
Thomas (Jenison, Mich./Jenison) which allowed freshman Bekah
Shellberg (Burlington, Wis./Catholic Central) to come across home
from third.
The Warriors were only able to manage five hits in the opener as
Aurora pounded out 17 for the game. Junior Jenny Rechlicz (West
Allis, Wis./Nathan Hale) recorded two hits to lead WLC at the plate
for the game.
Thomas suffered the loss in the circle for WLC as she went 4.0
innings, allowing 13 hits, 10 runs, while striking out one.
Freshman Libby Larsen (Menasha, Wis./Menasha) pitched the final
inning in relief.
Natalie Zanella recorded her ninth win of the season for Aurora
in the circle.
The Warriors continued to battle during game two but were unable
to keep up with Aurora's high-powered offense. Tristan Wilcox
slugged three homeruns in consecutive at-bats to help keep the
Spartans hot hitting alive. WLC was held to just two hits in the
game, while the Spartans pounded out 15. Junior Jinny Curtis
(Muskego, Wis./Wisconsin Lutheran) and sophomore Dayan Gacgacao
(Chicago, Ill./Whitney Young) each had one hit for the
Warriors.
Shellberg tossed 1.2 innings and was handed her fourth defeat of
the season. Both Thomas and Larson combined to close out the game
in relief roles.
Vanessa Hartzell went the complete 5.0 innings for Aurora (15-3,
7-1 NAC) to pickup her fourth win of the season in the circle. She
allowed just two hits and struck out seven.
Wisconsin Lutheran (9-7, 3-3 NAC) hosts Benedictine (8-10, 4-2
NAC) in another home conference doubleheader Monday at Warrior
Field. First pitch between the Eagles and Warriors is scheduled for
3 p.m.
