SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – When the Edgewood College softball team traveled to Lakeland College they knew they would be in for a tough test as the Muskies were on a seven-game winning streak and hadn't lost a game in Northern Athletics Conference play. The Eagles pounded out 25 hits in the doubleheader, including 15 in the second game 11-7 victory, which ended Lakeland's eight-game winning streak. Lakeland took game one 6-4.

Lakeland got off to a good start in game one as Heather Haeflinger opened the bottom of the first inning with a double. She later scored on a Jenny LaLuzerne sacrifice fly to put the Muskies ahead. Lakeland tallied two more run scoring hits to take a 3-0 lead.

After both teams left one runner on base in the second inning, Emily Monson sparked a one-out Eagle rally with a single in the third inning. Alexis Unser reached on a fielder's choice to follow Monson and scored on a Jessica Spitzer single. Spitzer later scored on an error to pull the Eagles within one at 3-2.

Neither team scored again until the fifth inning when Lakeland doubled their run total. The inning was highlighted by a pair of triples and a double that put the Muskies up 6-2 after five innings.

The Eagles tried to comeback as they tallied a run in the sixth inning when Alyssa Schulting singled home Carlene DeCoster who singled to start the inning. In the seventh inning with the Eagles down to their last out, Spitzer started a rally with a single and DeCoster followed with another single. Kayla Rackow singled to score Spitzer, but that was all the Eagles scored, dropping game one 6-4.

Spitzer, DeCoster and Schulting led the Eagles with two hits apiece while Spitzer scored two runs.

The Edgewood College (9-13, 2-6 NAC) bats stayed hot to start game two as Unser registered a one-out single and Spitzer followed with a double. DeCoster scored both when she ripped a single to center field. Following a double steal, Katie Landon laced a two-run double before Paityn Albers brought her in with a single to put the Eagles up 5-0.

However, the Muskies (10-8, 5-1 NAC) answered in the bottom half of the inning, as Haeflinger led off the inning with a double and scored on a Kaitlyn Hoffmann single. Sheahan drove in two with a double and Lakeland scored one more to make the score 5-4 after one. The Eagles didn't score in the second, but the Muskies tied the game and took a 6-5 lead with two runs in the frame.

The Eagles had a chance to regain the lead, but only scored one run on a Monson bases loaded walk before the Eagles stranded the bases loaded. Lakeland took the lead again with a run in the bottom of the third before the Eagles responded again. Back-to-back singles by Spitzer and DeCoster started the inning and Edgewood College scored two runs on an error to take an 8-7 lead they would not relinquish. Pitcher Brittany Andrews settled in after the third inning, only allowing two Muskie hits and three Muskie base runners in the final four innings.

Unser and Spitzer started the fifth inning with consecutive singles and they both scored later in the inning to extend the Eagle lead to 10-7. Albers tacked on an insurance run it in the seventh inning as she singled home Rackow to make the score 11-7. Andrews sat the Muskies down in order to end Lakeland's eight-game winning streak and hand the Muskies their first NAC loss.

Andrews struck out three batters and scattered 10 hits in seven innings of work to earn her fifth win of the season. Spitzer went 4-for-5 with two runs scored and Landon went 3-for-4 with two runs batted in and on run scored to lead the Eagle offense. DeCoster drove in a team-high three runs in the win.

The Eagles are in action again on Wednesday when they host Concordia University Wisconsin at Ceniti Park. Edgewood College will provide live video and live statistics for the 3:00 p.m. first pitch. Both links can be found on EdgewoodCollegeEagles.com.
