Loyola Chicago Takes Doubleheader at Dayton

DAYTON, Ohio -- Loyola Chicago swept the doubleheader in its Atlantic 10 series opener at Dayton on Sunday, March 8. Freshman pitcher Katie Geydoshek (3-4) struck out 13 Flyers over 8.2 innings of work to help the Ramblers secure the first win, and sophomore Averi Vander Woude collected two extra base hits to help lead the Loyola past Dayton 5-3 in game two. 

Coach Quote: Alicia Abbott
"I'm really proud of how our team competed today. Game one was a tight battle, but we did a great job turning the lineup over at the right time and creating momentum. Katie had a terrific performance in the circle to lead us there. Game two was a total team effort as we pitched by committee and everyone did their job when their number was called. Nat [Lesnicki] had a great day at the plate and gave us a big lift offensively. They made things tight at the end, but our group trusted the process, stayed composed, and found a way to finish the game and come away with the win."

Game One: Loyola 3, Dayton 2
The Ramblers opened scoring in the fourth inning from freshman Megan Piotrowski's RBI single, scoring freshman Alexis Hansen from third. Dayton tied the ballgame at one before Loyola came back to reclaim the advantage in the sixth. Junior Nat Lesnicki's two-out solo home run off of Flyers pitcher Izzy Kemp, brought the Ramblers lead to 2-1.

Dayton fired back to even the score again and push the game to extra innings. The Ramblers scored the final run on an RBI single off the bat of redshirt sophomore Liz Sedakis and Loyola held on for the win. 

In addition to Geydoshek's career-high 13 strikeouts, she gave up one run on three hits and walked none.

Game Two: Loyola 5, Dayton 3
Junior Maddy Hickey (2-2) got the win out of the bullpen for Loyola in game two, pitching three innings and striking out two. Junior Brooke Steinhorst started the ballgame and went 3.1 shutout innings, walking none and striking out two. 

The Ramblers got on the scoreboard first in the third inning thanks to a two-run double off the bat of Piotrowski. The Ramblers built on their lead in the fifth frame, adding three runs, buoyed by a two-RBI double from Vander Woude, bringing the lead to 5-0. Dayton scored  before the game was over, but Loyola held on for the 5-3 win.
