EVANSVILLE, Ind. – With 17 hits and six going for extra bases, the University of Southern Indiana softball team blasted Oakland City University Thursday evening in a nonconference doubleheader, 3-1 in game one and 11-1 in the nightcap
 
The Screaming Eagles improve to 22-15 in 2013, while the Lady Oaks dropped to 15-8.
 
Game one
 
Junior Kelsey Jankowski helped to provide the offense for USI as she went 2-for-2 with a pair of RBIs. However, it was sophomore Brooke Harmening, who had what proved to be the game-winning RBI when she reached on an error that scored junior Teri Newmaster.
 
Newmaster got the two-run third inning started when she reached base on a bunt hit and went to scoring position on freshman Janna Green's bunt base knock.  Newmaster then was pushed to third on sophomore MacKenzi Dorsam's sacrifice bunt.
 
The Eagles second run in the inning came off of Jankowski's sacrifice fly to left, which scored Green.
 
USI though gave a run back in fourth, but added the final tally in the fifth when Jankowski doubled home Dorsam.
 
Harmening (16-8) earned her 16th win of the season after pitching four innings and allowing one run on three hits. Jankowski, meanwhile, notched her second save of the season after tossing the final three innings.
 
Game two
 
The Eagles gave up a run in the first, but freshman Devon Rutherford (1-0) settled down to earn her first collegiate victory.  
 
In the bottom of the first, Dorsam tied the game on a single to right on one of her two hits in the nightcap. Sophomore Jolynn O'Haver then got in on the action when she picked-up an RBI in the second inning.
 
USI's offense then came to life in the third and fourth innings when it scored nine times.
 
Dorsam had two RBIs in the third, while O'Haver added another on a run scoring single to left, while Harmening and freshman Kaitlyn England each knocked in a run.
 
In the Eagles final inning at the dish, they added four more runs with Jankowski pushing across two more RBIs on a single up the middle. O'Have, however, was not finished as she plated another run on a baseloaded walk and freshman Toni Braun added the final USI run on a single.
 
Rutherford, meanwhile, pitched a five inning complete game, scattered two hits, but did not walk a batter.
 
The Eagles continue their eight-game homestand Saturday when they entertain Lewis University in a GLVC tilt beginning at noon.
