Stars Fall Short to #25 Aurora

Rosemont, IL – The Dominican University softball team hosted Aurora University in a doubleheader matchup falling short in game one 3-2 before dropping game two 4-1.

Game One:

Aurora got things going early as it was able to bring a runner around the bases to give itself the early 1-0 lead in the top of the first. The Spartans extended their lead in the top of the third as they brought a runner across home plate to make it 2-0.

Kennedy Marvin got things going for the Stars in the bottom of the third inning when she hit a single before advancing to second on an error by Aurora. A sacrifice bunt by Megan Hufnagle and a single by Makayla Barnes brought Marvin across home plate to cut the lead to 2-1.

The Spartans responded again in the top of the fourth inning to make it 3-1.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, Hufnagle was walked before advancing to second. Theresa Wilsterman stepped up big for the Stars as she hit a triple to right-field to bring Hufnagle around the bases to make it 3-2. The next batter was retired to leave the tying run stranded on third base and give Aurora the 3-2 victory.

Game Two:

The Spartans kept their momentum in game two as they were able to bring a runner around the bases in the top of the first inning before adding three more in the second to make it 4-0.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, Cecilia Winters-McCarthy led off by hitting a single up the middle. Kellie Fabbri came on to pitch run for Winters-McCarthy before advancing to second. Back-to-back singles by Olivia Johnson and Marvin brought Fabbri across home plate to make it 4-1. The next two batters were grounded out as Aurora capped off the 4-1 win.

"The team played extremely well today. In-game one, we had runners in scoring position in the sixth and seventh inning against the top pitcher in our conference. Unfortunately, we stranded 11 runners and we were one hit away from winning the game," said Head Coach Cristina Lukas. "We did not adjust well in game two from an offensive standpoint, but finally got out timing late in the game. Pitchers Brenna Angwin and Allyson Dilday had outstanding performances for us today and put us in a position to win both games." 

The Stars return to action Wednesday, April 28th when they host Mount Mary University in a matchup starting at 6:00 p.m.
