CHICAGO, Ill.-
Falcon pitching dominated Concordia University Chicago on Saturday
as CUW posted 8-2 and 8-0 wins to improve to 4-0 in Northern
Athletics Conference play.
Game One
In Saturday's first game, the host
Cougars battled to a 2-2 tie for the intital three innings before
Steve Crook's team took control.
CUW's game-changing 4th actually
included only one hit, but that was a two run single by freshman
Jessica Liszka (Lindenhurst, Ill.) that followed a trio of walks
and a sacrifice fly by senior Cara Landherr (Waukesha, Wis.) that
plated the inning's first run.
That 5-2 lead grew to 8-2 as the
Falcons plated a single run on the fifth on pair of Cougar errors
and added two more in the 7th when junior Holly Zinnecker (Roscoe,
Ill.) and Landherr blasted triples.
Sophomore Jamie Schuh (Freedom,
Wis.) got the win to imprrove to 5-3 on the season with a complete
game performance.
Game Two
A six run Falcon fifth broke open a
2-0 pitcher's duel and ended Saturday's second game prematurely via
the 8 run rule.
CUW banged out 11 hits with
Zinnecker, Chelsie Strosina, Abbie Goetsch, and Jannelle Schroder
getting two each.
Senior Falcon hurler Danielle Burke
(Burlington, Wis.) improved to 4-3 with the three hit shutout
performance.
Crook's team, now 9-9 on the season,
travels to Benedictine for another twin bill on Sunday.
