Ramblers Defeat Aces To Move On In MVC Championships

Loyola Softall defeated the University of Evansville 5-0 for its fifth shutout of the season.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (May 11, 2022) – On the hottest day of competition this season, the No. 8 Loyola University Chicago softball team played in the opening round of the Missouri Valley Conference Championships as they played against the No. 8 University of Evansville Aces. After seven innings of play, it was the Ramblers who came out on top, defeating the Aces 5-0 to move on to the next round of the Valley Championships.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
From the start of the first inning, the Ramblers had the control. Peyton Pepkowski started in the circle and, with the help of the defense, did a quick 1-2-3 to get themselves up to bat. Once Loyola was at the plate, they could not be stopped. Abbey Jacobsen hit a single so Madison Ebeling could cross home plate for Loyola's first run of the game. 
 
Once they scored one, the Maroon and Gold could not be stopped. Loyola went on to score four more runs, two of which came in the sixth inning, to win the game 5-0 over Evansville and secure its fifth shutout of the season.  
 
LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS
  • Peyton Pepkowski had another phenomenal day in the circle. The freshman, who just received All-MVC Second Team honors, threw eight strikeouts in today's game to give her 160 on the season. This is also her 12th win and fifth career shutout. Andie Broniewicz came in to pitch the final inning for Loyola and picked up where her teammate left off. She registered two strikeouts of her own, helping secure the shutout for her team. 
  • Jacobsen had the best day on offense for the Ramblers. She ended up with three hits on four at-bats, one of which was a double. She also brought in two runs on these at-bats. 
  • Tori Boysen also had a strong day at the plate both on offense and defense. She ended with two hits on three at-bats while also bringing in one run. She also had the most putouts on the team with 10. 
  • Contributing all of the runs for Loyola today was Ebeling, Sophia Remsik, Sydney Barnett, Teagan Sopczak and Abby Brown. 
  • Along with her offensive contributions, Ebeling finished with the most assists on defense, ending this game with three.
