Stars Fall to Top-Seed Spartans

Aurora, IL – The Dominican University softball team traveled to Aurora University to take on the top-seeded Spartans in the first round of the NACC South Division Tournament in a single seven-inning matchup falling 7-1.
 
The Spartans started the scoring early as they were able to bring a runner around the bases in the bottom of the first inning to give them the 1-0 lead.
 
Aurora kept things going in the bottom of the second inning as it was able to bring two more runners across home plate to extend its lead to 3-0.
 
The Spartans kept their momentum going as they were able to bring two runners apiece around the bases in the bottom of the sixth and seventh inning to make it 7-0.
 
A led off single to right-field by Theresa Wilsterman in the top of the seventh inning got things going for the Stars. Back-to-back singles by Cecilia Winters-McCarthy and Candace Kipp loaded the bases and put Dominican in scoring position. With one out, Julia Orozco stepped up next hitting a ground-out RBI that plated Wilsterman to make it 7-1. Dominican hit a pop-up to Aurora's first baseman to end the game as it too the 7-1 victory.
 
The Stars return to action Friday, May 7th as they travel back to Aurora to compete in the second round of the NACC South Division Tournament starting at 1:00 p.m.
