ADA — Senior Alicia Swierz (Deerfield/Southeast) became the 40th member of Ohio Northern's 100-Hit Club to lead the Ohio Northern softball team to a 10-8, 10-2 double header sweep of John Carroll on Saturday at the ONU Softball Field.
The Polar Bears run their winning streak to four games and improve to 7-5-1 overall and are 6-4 in the Ohio Athletic Conference Conference, while the Blue Streaks fall to 4-8, 4-6.
Swierz went 5-for-7 with 2 RBI on the day and now has 103 career base hits, which ties her for 36th all-time in ONU history.
Sophomore Sydney Motylinski (Ida, Mich.) was 6-for 7 with a home run, two doubles, 5 RBI and 5 runs scored to lead the ONU offense.
In the first game, Northern scored five times in the bottom the fourth to take an 8-6 lead, then tacked on two more insurance runs in the sixth to go up 10-7.
Swierz got her 100th hit on an RBI single in the 5-run fourth inning.
In the nightcap, freshman MarcQue Harris (Fremont/Old Fort) allowed only two runs on four hits to pick up the win (2-0).
Motylinski hit a 2-run home run in the bottom of the first to spark a 5-run inning and hit a 2-run double in the fifth to end the game due to the NCAA's 5-run rule.
Ohio Northern pounded out 26 base hits in the double header.
The two teams will continue their 4-game series with a 1 pm double header at John Carroll on Sunday.
