CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - Laura Kratochvil went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and two RBI as the Creighton softball team defeated North Texas 5-1 on Saturday at the Corpus Christi Invitational. All-American Tara Oltman allowed just three hits and no earned runs to earn her first victory of the year for the Bluejays (2-1).
The Bluejays got on the board in the top of the first inning on a pair of RBI singles. After going hitless in Creighton's first two games, Renae Sinkler and Bailey Dawson collected back-to-back RBI singles to kick-start the Bluejay offense on Saturday morning.
Creighton plated three more runs in the fifth inning. Sinkler reached on a one-out walk and Dawson followed with a single to put two runners on for Kratochvil. The senior catcher ripped a two-run double to give the Jays a 4-0 lead. Michelle Koch followed with an RBI single and the Jays were up 5-0 after five innings.
Oltman allowed just one hit through the first six innings of play and finished the game with three hits allowed. The Mean Green (2-1) scored an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh inning to deny Oltman's shutout bid. The junior hurler struck out five and walked none to improve to 1-1 on the season.
Kratochvil finished 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored. Dawson also went 2-for-4 with a run scored and RBI - her 100th career RBI. Dawson becomes the seventh player in school history to reach 100 career RBI.
Jessi Jadlowski also added a two-hit performance in the win.
