JOLIET, Ill. - Junior right fielder Kaylee Shell (Wilmington H.S./Wilmington, IL) went 5-for-6 at the plate with 4 runs scored and an RBI over two games to lead University of St. Francis to 8-0 and 11-3 wins over Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference foe Cardinal Stritch on Tuesday afternoon at the Inwood Softball Complex.

Shell added a sacrifice bunt in her first plate appearance of the day and was not retired until she popped up in her final at bat in game number two.  

Shell was not the lone offensive hero for the Saints (19-20, 7-5), though.

Senior Stacy Heap (Minooka H.S./Minooka, IL) enjoyed a perfect day at the plate, going 3-for-3 with 4 runs scored and 4 RBI over the two games. Heap also reached base four times on walks. Her two-out, third-inning single drove in a pair of runs in the opener and pushed the Saints' lead to 3-0. She added a run-scoring single in the fifth inning as well. Heap picked up three of her walks in game two and added another RBI single to her statistical line for the day.

Senior center fielder Kendel Behrens (Morris H.S./Morris, IL) was 3-for-7 on the day with 2 runs scored and a pair of RBI. Junior shortstop Caitlin Dolan (Lincoln-Way East H.S./Frankfort, IL) also hit safely in both games with a pair of singles and 4 RBI on the day.

Sophomore pitcher Jackie Frey (Plainfield South H.S./Plainfield, IL) blanked Cardinal Stritch on 5 hits in the 5-inning opener and struck out three with no walks. Junior Kim Malacina (Lockport H.S./Homer Glen, IL) got the win in game two. She blanked Stritch until she surrendered a two-out, 3-run home run in the fifth.

USF returns to play on Thursday with a home doubleheader against Calumet College of St. Joseph (Ind.) at 3 p.m. at Inwood. The twin bill marks the final home games of the 2010 season for USF, and the Saints will honor their six seniors in ceremonies between games.
