Elgin, IL - A day later than scheduled, the Eagles hosted IU South Bend for a double header to conclude their three-game series on Thursday afternoon. 

Game one featured a top notch pitching performance on both sides with the Eagles coming out ahead for the 2-0 victory. 

In the circle, junior Chelsea Herrick was dominant in the win. She pitched a complete game shutout while scattering only six hits and a single walk across the seven innings. The victory his her second on the season. In multiple innings, Herrick was able to strand runners and get out of jams executing pitches excellently. 

The offense was supplied by a couple of freshmen with single runs in the third and fifth innings. 

In the third inning, Grace Allgood broke the 0-0 tie with an RBI single scoring Jenna Yakey. And in the fifth inning Isabelle Schadle ripped a single to score Carmen Richardson. 

That was all Herrick needed to shut down the Titans. 

Game two nearly saw the same trick turned as JU was leading 1-0 after five innings. Then led 2-1 after six innings. However a 7th inning home run by the Titans flipped the script in the final inning. 

Grace Allgood went the distance in game two with four strikeouts. Allgood was dominant, and controlled the tempo well until the late home run with two outs in the top of the 7th inning. She also added two more hits in the game. 

Grace Pekoc had the lone RBI for the Eagles with the near winning run scoring on an error. 

Overall, it was a well played afternoon that saw strong pitching on both sides, and a split in the win column for both teams. 

The Eagles are scheduled to host Viterbo for three games this weekend.
