Softball Wards off Vikings to Stay Undefeated in CCIW Tournament Play

The Millikin softball team continued their College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin Tournament journey with the night game on Thursday, May 8, meeting second-seeded Augustana. The Big Blue took an 8-4 victory in the matchup, earning the right to meet top-seeded Illinois Wesleyan in a battle of the unbeatens on Friday.

After two scoreless innings, the Big Blue posted three runs in the top of the third, starting with a single by Abby Willis that plated Ava Zukowski. Then, Anna Enlow stepped to the plate, doubling down the left field line to score Willis. A Kailyn Coates single up the middle scored Enlow to give MU a 3-0 advantage.

Augustana put up a big inning of their own, with a four run fourth inning to take a one run lead. It didn't last long, though, with Anna Enlow responsible for another RBI that tied it up at four apiece when Charley Condill crossed the plate.

The Big Blue never looked back, scoring two more on a Haley Willan pinch hit single to left center that scored Ann Marie Meek and Brianna Denault. 

Millikin would add two insurance runs when Meek sent a ball over the left field fence for a two run homerun, bringing herself and Maddy Brawley home.

In the second game of the day, Enlow went 2-for-4 from the plate with two RBI. 

Alyssa Dralle picked up the win in the circle, tossing 3.2 innings and striking out two while allowing just one hit in relief. 

The Big Blue are slated to meet top-seeded Illinois Wesleyan in the 3:30 PM game from Inspiration Field in Bloomington, Ill. to see who will advance unscathed to Saturday's CCIW Tournament Championship round.
