Softball Tops Millikin in CCIW Tournament

Titans to play tomorrow, May 10, at 3:30 p.m.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - The top-seeded Illinois Wesleyan University softball team began the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Tournament with a 6-0 shutout of fourth-seeded Millikin University at Inspiration Field Thursday, May 9. IWU advances to play the winner of the final game of the day between No. 2 seed Augustana College and No. 3 seed North Central College.

Senior Megan Fontanetta (Arlington Heights, Ill.-Buffalo Grove) and sophomore Anna Beckman (Bourbonnais, Ill.-Bishop McNamara) walked to get the Titans offense going in the bottom of the third. A groundout to the right side moved both runners into scoring position, but it ultimately did not matter as sophomore Casey Wissmiller (Bloomington, Ill.-Olympia) belted her team-leading seventh homer of the year over the fence in center to push IWU ahead, 3-0.

Khoury kicked off a two-out rally with a walk, before senior Bailey Turner (Normal, Ill.-Normal West) and freshman JD Dowling (Roselle, Ill.-Lake Park) singled to load the bases for freshman Elyssa Stenger (Bloomington, Ill.-Central Catholic). Facing a 2-1 offering, Stenger roped a single to left to extend the Titan lead to 6-0.

IWU finished with five hits to the Big Blue's four, as five different Titans tallied a knock. Wissmiller tallied three RBIs, while Stenger drove in two. 

Sophomore Gianna Certa (Third Lake, Ill.-Grayslake North) secured her eighth shutout of the season to move to 16-2 in the circle. The sophomore limited the Big Blue to four hits and fanned three.

Illinois Wesleyan advances in the winners bracket, where the Green and White will play either No. 2 seed Augustana College or No. 3 seed North Central College.
