AUGUSTANA 4, WHEATON 2
 
Starters Nadia Ranieri (Riverside-Brookfield HS, North Riverside, Ill.) and Emilie Gist put up zeros for the first 3½ innings in the opener.
 
Gist retired the first two batters in the fourth, but a walk to Sydney Ohrtmann (Freeport HS, Rockford, Ill.) sparked a three-run Augustana outburst. Freshman Morgan Bielfeldt (St. Viator HS, Chicago, Ill.) singled in Ohrtmann with the game's first run and Erin Smith (Columbine HS, Highlands Ranch, Colo.) added a two-run single to center later in the frame.
 
Olivia Blood (Riverside-Brookfield HS, North Riverside, Ill.) drew a one-out walk in the fourth and scored on Claire Weeks' (Dundee-Crown HS, Sleepy Hollow, Ill.) two-out single to center to put the Vikings up 4-0.
 
Wheaton got to Ranieri for a pair of runs in the sixth and loaded the bases in the seventh, but the freshman southpaw got Gist to ground to Molly Wrenn (Geneva HS, Geneva Ill.) at third for a game-ending fielder's choice.
 
Ranieri (5-6) scattered seven hits, walked two and fanned six for the win. Gist (8-13) went the distance for the Thunder.
 
Bielfeldt and Ashley Dehmlow (McHenry West HS, Spring Grove, Ill.) each had two hits.

AUGUSTANA 11, WHEATON 0
 
Augustana got plenty of offense and a strong pitching performance from junior Shaye Arwood (Wheaton Warrenville South HS, Wheaton, Ill.) to claim the nightcap in five innings.
 
The Vikings jumped on Alese Antonello for six runs in the top of the second. Weeks got things started with a leadoff single. Ohrtmann and Erin Smith each had two run singles and Weeks capped the frame with an RBI double down the right field line.
 
Augustana made it 7-0 in the third. Josie Smith (St. Francis HS, Wheaton, Ill.) led off with an infield hit and Wrenn doubled her in.
 
Josie Smith led off a four-run seventh with a double to left center. Wrenn found the gap in right center for an RBI double and Blood singled Wrenn in. Erin Smith's singled to center plated Blood and Ranieri doubled in Smith to make it 11-0.
 
Arwood left after allowing just two singles and a walk in four shutout innings. Dehmlow came on to start the fifth and retired the side in order to end the game early.
 
Arwood was the winner in her first decision of the season. Antonella (4-6) lasted an inning and a third and suffered the loss.
 
Josie Smith finished 3-for-3 with three runs scored. Erin Smith was 3-for-4 with three RBI. Wrenn was 2-for-2 with two scored and two knocked in and Weeks finished 2-for-3. Blood scored twice and Ohrtmann drove in a pair.
