Chicago sweeps doubleheader from Vikings on Friends of Jaclyn Day

The University of Chicago softball team swept a nonconference doubleheader against Lawrence University on Sunday at Whiting Field by the scores of 8-0 and 7-2 on Friends of Jaclyn Day.

The doubleheader was used to raise money for Friends of Jaclyn, an organization that pairs children with brain tumors with college and high school sports teams. The Vikings have adopted eight-year-old Emma Broeniman, and Chicago has adopted Jenna Jongsma. Both girls have neurofibromatosis type 1.

In the opener, Sarah Neuhaus and Jacqueline Ryan combined on a one-hit shutout for the Maroons (19-8-1). Neuhaus struck out eight and didn’t walk a batter in four innings to pick up the win.

Kathleen Duffy and Lauren White paced the Maroons with two hits apiece.

Chicago jumped to a 3-0 lead in the second and picked up run-scoring doubles from White and Vicky Tomaka.

The Maroons sealed the win with five runs in the fifth. Duffy and White both had run-scoring doubles in that inning, and Kim Cygan had a two-run single.

In the nightcap, Duffy, Julia Schneider, Samantha Hobson and Cygan had two hits apiece. Melissa Collins tossed three innings of relief to earn the win.

Chicago went up 2-0 in the top of the first as Duffy hit a solo homer in the inning. Lawrence (13-9) got a run back in the bottom of the first when Cathy Kaye doubled and scored.

Kaye and Alex Goodson both had two hits in the nightcap for Lawrence.

Chicago went up 5-1 with three runs in the third. Cygan highlighted the rally with a two-run single. The Maroons then tacked on two more runs in the fourth.

Lawrence closed the scoring on Goodson’s lead-off homer in the sixth.
