AUGUSTANA 5, NORTH PARK 3
 
Senior right-hander Sarah Hintz (Le Roy HS, Le Roy, Ill.) held the hosts without a hit through 3 2/3 innings, while her offense staked her to a 4-0 lead in the opener.
 
Teson pulled a one-out triple to right in the top of the first and scored the first run of the game when Anderson followed with a double to center. The Vikings continued to spray the ball around the entire field, as Watson and senior Jaime Rehmert (Sterling HS, Sterling, Ill.) also doubled, to left and right respectively, to make it 3-0 Augustana after a half inning.
 
Junior Christie Wiersema (Morrison HS, Morrison, Ill.) started the fourth by being hit by a pitch and eventually came around to score an unearned run when Teson reached via an error.
 
After North Park touched Hintz for its first hit in the fourth, Watson made it 5-0 in the top of the fifth with a solo homer to left field.
 
The hosts finally got on the board with three runs off Wiersema in the bottom of the sixth. Kaity Olson had an RBI single and scored on Nicole Kruckman's two-run homer to center. That would be all that North Park would muster though, as Wiersema set down the final four batters of the game without incident.
 
Hintz went four scoreless innings to earn her 11th win of the season against just two losses. Watson paced the offense, going 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two driven in.
