From the outset, Oak Forest had Oak Lawn pitcher Nicole Jurgensen’s number. The Bengals' first three batters reached base and scored as Oak Forest ran away with a 14-1 softball victory in five innings when the two met on Monday, April 11.

Oak Forest hit the ball all over the diamond--and over the fence, too. The Bengals' offense was led by Emily Naegele and Felicia Turk. Both connected for two-run homers.

Oak Forest scored at least two runs in each of the team’s four innings at bat.

Even though senior pitcher Emily Norton was removed in the second inning with an apparent injury, Colleen Sherwood was dominant in relief. Sherwood didn’t allow a hit and struck out four Oak Lawn batters.
