MONTGOMERY, Ill. - The Elmhurst University softball team dropped a non-conference doubleheader at Aurora University Wednesday evening.

Elmhurst (10-11, 3-1 CCIW) kept both games close, with the Bluejays heading into the sixth inning of game one tied at one, and taking a 2-1 lead in the top of the sixth, before letting up six runs in the bottom half of the inning to fall 2-10 in run-rule fashion.

Maddie Trost tallied both RBI in game one for the Bluejays, going 1-for-2 in the contest. Freshman Megan Wilson suffered the loss to drop to 0-1 on the season after giving up nine hits and five runs (three earned runs), garnering three strikeouts in her outing.

In game two, the Bluejays jumped ahead 1-0 in the second after an RBI groundout from Ali Mockenhaupt, and kept the Spartans at bay in the bottom half of the inning. However, a pair of runs in the third and an insurance run in the sixth allowed Aurora to pull away for a 4-1 victory, sweeping the doubleheader.

Brianna Pisauro pitched all six innings for the Bluejays, giving up siz hits and three runs while adding a pair of strikeouts to drop to 5-4 on the season in the circle. The Bluejays garnered just two hits in the finale, with Trost and Reese Coon providing the offense for the Bluejays.
