Softball Fends Off Bradley on Alumni Day

RBI Off the Bats of Emma Crowley, Jojo Santiago and Anna Walker

CHICAGO – The UIC softball team looked to even the series with Bradley on Saturday, as the two teams met for a 4:00 p.m. first pitch. In a back-and-forth contest at Flames Field, UIC earned the 4-3 victory to bring the series level. 

COMMENT FROM SENIOR CHRISTINA TONIOLO



"I think this team produced on all cylinders today. Miranda Gomez who had my back, came in during a high pressure situation and absolutely killed it. Anna Walker with a homerun and some amazing plays on defense, Larissa Villa making that catch. Those things are huge and let's go get us that series tomorrow."

COMMENT FROM JUNIOR ANNA WALKER


"It was a great team win today. Defense played great. Obviously, looking behind me. We hit well today. We strung together a lot of hits. Tina pitched very well. I thought Miranda did a great job in a pressure situation and shutting down the other team."

  • Bradley started the game off with bases loaded but senior Christina Toniolo finished the inning with a swinging strikeout from the Braves' Addie Welsh.  

  • The Flames jumped on the scoreboard with five hits in the fourth inning. Junior Emma Crowley scored sophomores Grace Fleming and Larissa Ortiz on a double down the left field line.  

  • Crowley was brought home by sophomore Jojo Santiago a few batters later when she hit a triple to the left-center warning track.  

  • Junior Anna Walker opened the fifth inning crushing a ball to centerfield, clearing the fence to extend the Flames lead.   

  • Toniolo nearly went the complete game for the Flames. She pitched 6.2 innings, striking out five and only walking two batters before being pulled late in the seventh.  

NEWS AND NOTES 

  • Walker is now tied with senior Carlee Jo Clark with the second-most home runs on the season with two.  

  • Senior Alannah Cran landed a single to extend her hitting streak to seven games. She has the longest hitting streak for the Flames this season.  

  • Sophomore Larissa Ortiz was the lone Flame with a multi-hit performance, going 2-for-3. She now has 12 hits in the month of April. 

  • Santiago now has four RBI in just the past three games.  

SENIOR DAY 

  • The series is set to conclude Sunday against the Braves, as Jordyn Cebedo, Maica Ingles and Mary Jones will be celebrated pregame for Senior Day.  

  • The game will be available to listen to on the Flames Network.
