Pointers Sweep
First Place UW-Oshkosh
Kelly Jablonski and
Stephanie Anderson both twirled strong pitching performances as the
UW-Stevens Point softball team posted two shutouts in sweeping Wisconsin
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference leader UW-Oshkosh on Tuesday in
Oshkosh.
Jablonski scattered six hits
in a 3-0 opening game win, while Anderson limited the Titans to three hits
in a 2-0 victory in the nightcap. The Pointers improved to 7-4 in the WIAC
and are now 17-8 overall, while UW-Oshkosh is now 8-3 in the league and
18-10-1 overall.
UW-Oshkosh, which went 5-0
in the conference cluster over the weekend, did not have a leadoff batter
reach base the entire day and had only one runner reach third base, coming
on a wild pitch with two outs in the sixth inning of the second game.
UW-Stevens Point scored all
three of its runs in the first game in the third inning as Anderson
delivered a two-run single with one out in the inning. She moved to second
on an error and to third on a groundout by Rebekah Bauer before scoring on
a sharp single up the middle by Laura Zierler. Bauer and Zierler both
finished two-for-three.
Jablonski struck out two
batters and walked none while posting the win. Ronessa Stampfli had 11
strikeouts for the Titans, but had a streak of 10 straight wins snapped in
taking the loss.
Anderson and Bauer had
back-to-back doubles with two outs in the opening inning of the second
game and Jenny Feidt scored from first base on a dropped fly off a ball
hit by Anderson in the fifth to account for the Pointers' two runs. Feidt
was two-for-four, while Zierler and Chelsea McIlquham were both
two-for-three. Anderson struck out six in the shutout victory.
