Softball Panthers Visit McKendree, Illinois Springfield For GLVC Play

Drury Softball will hit the road this weekend for Illinois, taking on McKendree on Saturday and Illinois Springfield on Sunday for Great Lakes Valley Conference play.

Coach Chantiel Wilson's Panthers are 13-29 overall and 6-16 in the GLVC entering their noon doubleheader Saturday against McKendree (21-21, 13-9) in Lebanon, Ill.

Illinois Springfield will take records of 18-24 and 8-14 into a Saturday doubleheader versus Missouri S&T before hosting the Panthers at noon on Sunday.

Drury is coming off of a non-conference split on Tuesday at Southwest Baptist in Bolivar, where they bounced back from a 5-4 loss in the opener with a 4-0 victory in the nightcap on a two-hit, complete-game shutout by junior pitcher Jessica Kjeldgaard.

Junior third baseman Kaeli Smith has been DU's top hitter with a .321 average to go with three homers and 22 runs batted in, while junior shortstop Kari Hillenburg is hitting .284 with a team-leading 19 runs and 19 stolen bases in 20 attempts. Senior outfielder Chantal Oelrich is batting .291.

Senior pitcher Shelby Weissenbach is 9-14 with a 3.31 to pace the pitching staff.
