Softball Picks up CCIW Win at North Central

The Millikin softball team traveled to Naperville, Ill. for a doubleheader against the North Central Cardinals on Saturday, April 10. The afternoon played host to storms, forcing the cancellation of game two. The Big Blue earned a 6-4 conference victory in game one. 

Millikin put a run on the board in the top of the first with a leadoff double by Rylee Blake. Leah Foreman tallied an RBI with a single to bring in Blake. 

The Big Blue put up four more runs in the top of the fifth, all with two outs. Foreman drew a walk, and MU found themselves with the bases loaded on a single by Aubrey Hunt and a walk drawn by Gretchen Gould. The third walk of the inning was issued to Lexus Tennison to plate Foreman. After a pitching change, Hunt scored on a wild pitch, and a Maddie Holland double to center scored Tennison and Gould. 

North Central rallied back in the sixth, scoring four runs. Emily Miller reached on an infield single, then scored on a single by Talia Torosian. A Dakota Novak home run with two runners brought the Cardinals within one. 

Millikin tacked on an insurance run in the top of the seventh starting with a Foreman single. She later scored when Tennison reached on a fielder's choice. 

Aly Armstrong earned her tenth victory of the season in the win, and Gianna Corban took the loss for the Cardinals. With the 6-4 win, Millikin moved to 17-6 overall, and 14-3 in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin. 

Millikin softball will match up against Wheaton College in a conference doubleheader on Friday, April 16 in Wheaton, Ill.
