Senior pitcher Rachael Knapp pitches the ball to an NIU player on April 21 at Margo Jonker Stadium.
The softball team returned home to Margo Jonker Stadium after a road trip just the way they’d like; with a win.
In a sort of ‘grind-it-out-game,’ the Chippewas were able to escape a seventh-inning scare and improve to 29-12 on the season and remain tied atop of the Mid-American Conference standings at 12-4.
Senior Ace, Rachael Knapp got herself and the Chips out of 1st inning bases-loaded jam with a strikeout, giving her team confidence to get the bats going.
