CLERMONT, Fla. – The Augustana softball team ran its winning streak to 14 in-a-row on Wednesday night with a 6-0 win over Illinois Spring field in the final game of the PFX Spring Games in Clermont, Fla.
 
Now 15-4 on the season, the Vikings turn their attention to the Emporia State Softball Classic this weekend, after weather forced the cancelation of the Missouri Western State Hy-Vee Classic in St. Joseph, Missouri.
 
The Prairie Stars loss to the Vikings drops them to 13-8 on the season.
 
Augustana scored first in the second inning on an Amber Elliott RBI single that scored Ashley Mickschl to put the Vikings up 1-0.
 
Still up 1-0 in the fourth, Shannon Petersen opened the inning with a homerun to make it 2-0 into the fifth, when Abbey Lund singled home Kara McDougall for a 3-0 lead.
 
The Vikings put the game away in the sixth with a two-RBI double from Mickschl and an RBI fielder's choice from McDougall to notch the final three Augie runs.
 
Elliott took care of the rest in the circle with a complete game, one-hit win to booster her record to 2-1 on the season. She struck out 11 and walked one.
 
Augustana opens the Emporia State Softball Classic on Friday at 10 a.m., against Pittsburg State at 10 a.m., and then takes on the host Hornets on Friday at 2 p.m.
 
Saturday's action includes games against Missouri Southern State at noon, and Northeastern State at 4 p.m., before the weekend ends on Sunday against Central Oklahoma at 10 a.m.
