The Forester softball team won the doubleheader opener at Beloit College 8-1 but fell 10-7 in game two at Beloit College on Saturday.

Lake Forest racked up 11 base hits and stole 10 bases in game one. Junior left fielder Jolie Devalk and freshman shortstop Emily Psyhogios were each 2-for-2 at the plate while Psyhogios had three stolen bases and junior shortstop/designated player Kaia Mismash two.

After both teams scored once in the second inning, senior third baseman Cadence Dempsey and Devalk each singled in one run and senior catcher Kyla Chevalier doubled in two in the third. Freshman third baseman Emma Carney added to the lead with an RBI single in the fourth, Mismash came home on a wild pitch in the sixth, and a double steal in the seventh brought in Psyhogios with the final run of the contest.

Senior pitcher Morgan Traxinger allowed just an unearned run on four base hits to earn the complete game victory.

The Foresters had a dozen hits in game two, including three for junior catcher Paige Ratliff and two each for senior right fielder Emmie Nyen and junior second baseman Lia Taglia. Ratliff also accounted for two of the team's six stolen bases.

Lake Forest took the early lead on a run-scoring single by Ratliff in the top of the first inning. After Beloit erupted for six runs in the second, the Foresters plated four in the third on RBI singles by Chevalier and Nyen sandwiched around a two-run triple by sophomore designated player/pitcher Vanessa Buske.

The score remained 6-5 until the bottom of the fifth when the Buccaneers scored four unearned runs. A two-run home run by Dempsey in the top of the seventh was her team-high fifth round-tripper of the year but was not nearly enough for a Forester comeback.

Lake Forest is now 16-12 overall and 8-4 in Midwest Conference play while Beloit moved to 4-32 overall and 2-10 in the league.

The Foresters will play their third doubleheader in four days on Sunday when Lawrence University comes to Mohr Field. First pitch is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
