WAUKESHA, Wis.- The UW-Oshkosh softball team blanked Carroll University 9-0, 4-0 in a weekday doubleheader at the Pioneers' Kilgour Field on Thursday (April 25).

The Titans (30-2, 6-2 WIAC) reached 30 wins for the second straight season and seventh time in program history in the sweep. Carroll fell to 11-23 on the season.

Sydney Nemetz (Jr. • Marinette) started in the circle for Oshkosh in the twin bill opener. She threw 4.0 innings and allowed no runs while striking out three and allowing three hits.

Oshkosh scored its first runs of the day in the third inning when Sophie Wery (Jr. • Seymour) hit a three run home run to left field and Cali Divito (Jr. • Inverness, Ill.) scored two on a single up the middle.

Brianna Davis (Jr. • Oshkosh) tripled in the sixth inning, sending Zoe Malone (Sr. • Pittsburgh, Pa.), who reached after being hit by a pitch, across the plate to put the Titans up 7-0. Morgan Miller (So. • Schaumburg, Ill.) hit a home run to center field in the following at-bat for a nine run edge headed into the bottom of the inning. Carroll went down in order, ending game one in six innings.

The Pioneers never saw more than four of their batters in an inning, even as Miller made her second appearance of the season in the fifth inning. She allowed no hits and one walk while striking out two.

In the second game, Mia Crotty (Sr. • Palos Park, Ill.) started for Oshkosh and fanned one while allowing no runs on three hits in 4.0 innings of work.

The Titans got on the board in the second inning. Morgan Rau (Sr. • Downers Grove, Ill.) singled to center field to lead off the inning and advanced on a Miller groundout and a Davis bunt single to the pitcher before scoring as Divito grounded out to the shortstop.

Sydney Rau (Sr. • Downers Grove, Ill.) singled through the left side to lead off the third inning but was the first out of the frame when Haylie Wittman reached on a third base to second base fielder's choice. Wery hit her second home run of the day, scoring Wittman on a shot to right field, putting Oshkosh up 3-0. Miller pushed the Titans' lead another run on an RBI single to right field that scored Morgan Rau, who doubled to right center and moved to third on a passed ball.

Abby Freismuth (Sr. • Fond du Lac) relieved Crotty in the fifth inning and went the rest of the way for her first save of the season. She allowed two hits and a walk while striking out one.
