Softball Downs Wheaton in CCIW Tournament Opener, Will Meet #2 Augustana in Night Game

The Big Blue softball team traveled to Bloomington, Ill. for their opening round matchup in the 2025 College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin Tournament on Thursday, May 8. In the must-win single elimination play-in game, the Big Blue won 3-0.

The Big Blue scratched across a run in the second inning when Bella Palermo's RBI groundout brought home Kendallyn Davison who reached earlier on a triple. 

After two scoreless innings, Millikin found home plate again in the fifth on a single up the middle by Charley Condill that plated pinch runner Brianna Denault. The Big Blue added their third and final run in the sixth when Palermo singled through the left side to score Summer Wynn. 

Abby Willis went 2-for-2 at the plate in the 3-0 victory. 

Kelsey Bruno tallied a season-high 12 strikeouts, allowing just one hit in her 7.0 innings of work. 

The third seeded Big Blue advance to the double elimination rounds where they'll meet second seeded Augustana College beginning around 6:00 PM from Bloomington and Inspiration Field on Thursday, May 8.
