Big Blue Softball Opens Conference Season with Sweep

         The Millikin softball team opened play in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) with a doubleheader sweep at Wheaton College on April 1 in Wheaton, Illinois.  Millikin won game one 6-0 and took game two 5-4 in eight innings.
         In game one, Cathy Lebryk pitched the Big Blue to the victory throwing seven innings allowing only three hits while striking out three.  Freshman Kailey Lyons led the Millikin offense going 3-3 with an RBI.  Other Millikin RBIs went to Marissa Padilla, Alyssa Voegele, Kalli Farmer and Chelsea Eads who had an RBI double.
         Millikin broke open a 1-0 game with a five run seventh inning.
         Millikin took advantage of five Wheaton errors to win game two 5-4.
The Big Blue trailed 4-1 heading into the seventh inning.  Two Thunder miscues fueled Millikin's three run rally to tie the game.  The Big Blue won the game when Alyssa Voegele drove home the game winner with a bases loaded fielder's choice.
         Lyons continued her hot hitting going 3-4 with a double.  Padilla and Alexis Dockins each went 2-4.
         Nicole Koch earned the pitching victory in relief throwing the final two and two-thirds innings without allowing a hit.
         Kelly Thornton led the Thunder attack with two hits in each game including a triple in game two.
