The Tommies won in commanding fashion by a combined score of 19-3 on Saturday
CHICAGO, Ill. – St. Thomas Softball (3-1 overall) crushed both of their opponents on day two of the DePaul Dome Tournament, defeating Green Bay 10-0 and DePaul 9-3 at The Dome in Chicagoland.
Game One Recap
From the words "play ball", the Tommies were the better team against the Green Bay Phoenix. Avery Wukawitz worked a great at-bat that resulted in the first home run of the season on a rocket to right center field. Cassidy Carby walked and was pushed to second on Kaitlyn Raymond's single down the left field line. The Tommies' starting pitcher, Ella Cook, flew out to right field, but advanced both runners. Laken Lienhard followed it up with a single to center field that scored one. Abbi Stierlen notched an RBI on a SAC FLY and Ruby Moore brought home Lienhard to cap off the Toms' four-run first inning.
Cook allowed one hit in the bottom of the first and struck out two Green Bay batters. She completed the game with just two hits allowed and seven strikeouts.
St. Thomas doubled its lead in the second inning with RBI hits from Cook, Lienhard, and Weingart. The Tommies added five hits in the frame and finished the game with 13. Cook worked a 1-2-3 second.
Morgan Klein stole home after Ruby Moore broke for second with runners on the corners in the third. Moore bought time for Klein and then beat the rundown to steal second on top of the run. Raymond singled to left field to score Moore and put the Toms on top, 10-0.
The Phoenix got their second hit with two outs in the fourth but did not score.
Marleigh Louvar added a pinch-hit double in her first at-bat of the season but was stranded at the conclusion of the top of the fifth.
Cook worked another 1-2-3 inning with two strikeouts to complete the shutout.
Avery Wukawitz (2-4, R, RBI, HR), Cassidy Carby (1-1, 2R, 2BB, 2B), Kaitlyn Raymond (3-3, 2R, RBI, SB), Laken Lienhard (2-2, 2R, 2RBI, BB, SB), Kyllie Weingart (1-2, 2RBI, BB), and Ruby Moore (2-3, R, RBI, SB) each reached base safely multiple times. Ella Cook worked all five innings without allowing a run. She allowed just two hits (both singles), walked nobody, hit one batter, and struck out seven. The Tommies made no errors in the field.
Game Two Recap
The Tommies jumped out to a quick lead again with two runs scored in the top of the first inning against the DePaul Blue Demons. Kaitlyn Raymond doubled home Avery Wukawitz and pushed Cassidy Carby up to third. Ella Cook flied out to center field and scored Carby on a sacrifice fly.
St. Thomas added three more runs in the second to get out to a commanding 5-0 lead. Wukawitz doubled home Izzy Vick after the sophomore recorded the first hit of her collegiate career. Carby flied to center to score Ruby Moore on a sacrifice fly and Raymond singled up the middle to bring Wukawitz around to score.
Ava Kleinfeldt worked in to the third inning of her first career start in the circle. After allowing two runs in the second, she allowed two runners on base with back-to-back singles to start the third. She was relieved by Keira Murphy. The junior hurler worked out of the jam by allowing just one run to score.
Murphy pitched four scoreless innings and earned the "W" with four strikeouts out of the bullpen. The Tommies gave her more run support with three runs in the fourth and an extra insurance run in the seventh.
Laken Lienhard singled Carby home and then Kameron Monson scored Abbi Stierlen and Lienhard on a ball hit to the DePaul third baseman. The Blue Demon defender overthrew the first baseman and allowed both runs to cross home. Carby added that one run in the seventh on a single up the middle to score Wukawitz.
Ella Cook came in to slam the door in the bottom of the seventh with two runners on and nobody out. She induced a groundout and then struck out the last two batters faced to lock up the Tommies' third win in a row.
The Tommies belted 17 hits. Wukawitz, Carby, Raymond, Lienhard, Stierlen, and Monson all recorded multi-hit games.
