Canney One-Hitter, Three Wildcat Homers Sink No. 14 DePaul, 3-0
May 3, 2007
EVANSTON, Ill .-- Senior Eileen Canney (Paradise, Calif./Paradise) threw a one-hit shutout and the Wildcats hit a trio of solo home runs in a 3-0 win against No. 14 DePaul Thursday afternoon in the first game of a doubleheader at Sharon J. Drysdale Field. The win improves the Wildcats to 42-10 on the season, while DePaul falls to 36-9 with the loss. Canney allowed only a fourth-inning infield single and one walk in the game, striking out eight to improve to 25-8 on the season. The hit she allowed actually was fielded on the right side of second base in an amazing play by shortstop Tammy Williams (Roscoe, Mo./Osceola), but the runner barely beat the throw for a one-out single. Canney's 25 wins rank fourth in school single-season history. Williams put the first run of the game on the board in the bottom of the first, ripping a two-strike pitch over the left-field fence for a 1-0 Northwestern lead. The homer was Williams' 13th of the season and the 27th of her career. It also gave the Wildcats an even 70 on the year as team. Sophomore Erin Dyer (Homer Glen, Ill./Lockport) followed Williams' solo act one inning later, leading off the bottom of the second with a soaring home run to left to give the 'Cats a 2-0 lead. Two innings later with the score still the same, Dyer repeated the feat, this time sending a solo blast deep over the right-center field fence. Dyer now has nine home runs for the season and 15 for her career, tying her with Brooke Siebel (1998-2000) for eighth in school history. The multi-dinger game was her second of the season.
Senior Garland Cooper (Mission Viejo, Calif./Santa Margarita Catholic) had Northwestern's other hit in the game, a fifth-inning single back up the middle.
Tracie Adix, who entered the game ranked fourth in the nation with 0.76 ERA, took the loss for DePaul to fall to 15-2 on the year. |
