Game
Against Emory, the Foresters managed just two base hits. The first was
a harmless two-out single by freshman shortstop Tina
Koludrovic (Darien, IL/Downers Grove South) in the sixth inning. The
second came on the first pitch of the bottom of the seventh, when senior
catcher Jenn
Reifenberg (Skokie, IL/Niles West) hit her fourth home run of the season
to end the game. It marked the second straight victory for Lake Forest
that ended with a walk-off homer.
Findeisen got the start in the win over Ithaca, and went the distance to raise her record on the year to 19-6. She allowed two runs (one earned) on seven base hits and struck out four, giving her 156 for the season. Lake Forest got on the scoreboard first with a pair of runs in the top of the third inning. With one out, senior centerfielder Erin Valentour (Bolingbrook, IL/Downers Grove South) and freshman second baseman Alissa Mildebrath (Carol Stream, IL/West Chicago) each singled and junior Megan Gibson's (Brown Deer, WI/Brown Deer) double scored them both. In the fourth, consecutive one-out singles by senior Chris Laurine (Richmond, IL/Richmond-Burton), senior Kristin Brand (McHenry, IL/McHenry West), and junior Shanon Joselane (Glendale Heights, IL/Glenbard East) brought home the team's third run. With two out, Mildebrath singled to drive in Joselane with the team's fourth and final score of the game. Ithaca, who left eight runners on base, scored one run in the bottom of the fourth and another in the fifth. Lake Forest (34-11) and Ithaca (36-13) played each other on the first day of the season (the Foresters won 10-5 on March 10th) and will now meet again in the final game of the year. Lake
