CLERMONT, Fla. – Junior
Maggie Dunnett capped a 10-run sixth inning with a walk-off grand slam on Saturday to give the Augustana softball team a 12-1, 6 inning win over St. Thomas Aquinas at the PFX Spring Games at Legends Way Ballpark in Clermont, Fla.
The Vikings eighth straight win boosts their record to 9-4 on the season, while the Spartans fall to 1-3.
Augustana scored an unearned run in the first and got a
Maggie Kadrlik RBI single in the fourth to take a 2-1 lead before erupting in the sixth for the 10 runs to end the game. The Vikings scored their 10 runs on five hits, with the benefit of one error to secure the win.
Six different Vikings recorded hits in the game, with both Kadrlik and
Ashley Mickschl posting a pair of hits. Dunnett, who came in earlier in the sixth inning as a pinch runner, made the most of her only at-bat of the game to lead the way with four RBI.
Christina Pickett came in during the big inning as a pinch hitter and knocked in three runs.
Olivia Wolters evened her record on the season at 1-1, as she earned the win in relief, tossing three no-hit innings, striking out six and walking one.
The Vikings get Sunday off, but return to action with two games on Monday, starting with Indiana (Penn.) at 3:30 p.m., followed by a game against William Jewell at 6 p.m.
