Saints Power Past UM-Dearborn in Road Sweep

The Aquinas softball team traveled to Dearborn, Michigan to take on the Wolverines of UM-Dearborn in a big WHAC doubleheader on Sunday afternoon (Apr. 18). Big bats and three home runs for the Saints in the two contests carried them to the win over the Wolverines by scores of 11-2 and 12-4. 

Izzy Dawson batted in three of the first four runs for the Saints in the first and second innings. A single in the first that scored Brooke Wila and a single in the second to score Sydney Dawson and Natalie VanDerHaegen along with a solo home run from Courtney Hardin earned AQ the quick 4-0 jump. 

Another solo home run, this time from Darrien Roberts, extended the lead to five for AQ in the third. The Wolverines notched two runs in the bottom of the inning to make it 5-2 Aquinas advantage. The Saints came to the top of the fourth grabbing four runs on five hits and no errors. AQ closed the five-inning game one tallying two more, batted in Hardin.
