DECATUR, Ill. (Apr. 1, 2023)Â - The North Central College softball team took on a stout challenge in its College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) opener Saturday, traveling to Workman Family Field for a double header against the defending CCIW champion Millikin University Big Blue.
The Cardinals were dealt large early deficits in both games and lost the opener, 13-2, before a 9-1 setback in the second contest.
Katie Del Re's double with two out in the fifth inning brought
Danielle Lambert and
Charlotte Toosley across the plate. Del Re scored North Central's lone run of the nightcap, coming home in the first inning on
Talia Torosian's base hit up the middle.Â
