ROCK ISLAND, Ill (March 29, 2014) - UW-Stout bounced back from a 10-7 loss where 23 total hits were pounded out by the two teams to record their third shuout of the season Saturday at the Augustana Tournament at Carver Stadium.
The Blue Devils lost to 21st ranked Augustana in the first game where the Vikings matched each of Stout's offensive outbursts. Stout came back to record their third shutout in four games with a 5-0 blanking of Wartburg College.
Caty Schloer (Fr, Lino Lakes, Minn) got herself out of trouble in the first two innings, then settled down, allowing only one runner past first base in the final five innings. Schloer allowed the lead off runner in each of the first two innings to reach third base, but managed to stifle any potential damage. With one out and runners on first and third in the first inning, Schloer recorded one of her three strikeouts, then forced a groundout. It was more of the same in the second inning, but three consecutive groundouts closed the threat.
Schloer faced three batters-only in the third and seventh innings. She was only seriously threatened in the fifth inning when the Knights put runners on first and second with two outs.
Stout got single runs in the first and second innings. In the bottom of the first,
Sam Hastings (Sr, Waukesha) drove in
Lynzi Knudtson (Jr, Melrose) and in the second inning,
Nicole Rogers (So, Brooklyn Center, Minn) hit a full-count home run to left field to put Stout up 2-0.
Stout doubled their score in the fourthinning when
Hannah Sweet (Sr, Elk River, Minn) drove in two runs with a pinch hit single to right field. Stout's final run came as
Tori Workman (So, Prior Lake, Minn) scored when Rogers got caught in a run down between second and third.
Rogers was 2-for-2 with a pair of runs scored and an RBI. She drew a walk to get on base three times.
Schloer finished with three strikeouts and surrendered no walks.
Kaitlin Stark (So, Hastings, Minn) got the opening game slugfest started with a lead-off home run to start the game, but Augustana would answer back every time the Blue Devils would score and the teams would keep it up. Stout rapped out 12 hits, while the Vikings collected 11 hits.
With Stout leading 1-0 after the top of the first, the Vikings took the lead on RBI singles by Jenna Teson and Ashley Anderson.
Stout would jump back out 3-2 in the third inning when

The Blue Devils tied the score in the sixth inning when two scored on
Lynzi Knudtson's single to right field.
The Vikings took the game with a three-run sixth. Watson collected another RBI and Anderson got her fourth RBI of the day with a two run double. Anderson would also come on to pitch the last inning to get the save.
