McBeain stars for No. 4 KCC softball

ROSEMONT, Ill. - Angie McBeain starred for the fourth-ranked Kirkwood  softball team Saturday night as a hitter and pitcher.

McBeain hit a two-run walk-off homer in the botton of the seventh  inning to snap a 2-2 tie and give the Eagles a 4-2 victory over South  Suburban in the first game of the N4C Dome Jamboree.

McBeain then pitched a one-hit shutout with seven strikeouts as  Kirkwood belted Moraine Valley Community College, 16-0.

Kirkwood trailed 2-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh against  South Suburban. Taylor Nearad led off with a double and Lexi Ferrari  beat out a bunt single to get things started.

Nearad scored on an infield grounder by Maddie Hansen, then McBeain  delivered her two-run homer to win the game. Nearad and Hansen, a pair  of 2016 All-Americans, had two hits for Kirkwood against South Suburban.

Kirkwood pitcher Lexi Kinnaird struck out 15 batters and allowed only  one hit against South Suburban. Both of South Suburban's runs were  unearned.

DoniRay Mayhew belted two home runs for the Eagles against Moraine  Valley and Nearad hit her first homer of the season. Morgan Frost,  another 2016 All-American, went 4-for-4, scored four times and drove  in two runs.

Mayhew was 3-for-4 with her two homers and six RBIs. Nearad was  3-for-3 and scored three times. Hansen had three hits. Ferrari and  Audra Bridenstine had two hits. McBeain and Monika Bevans had two RBIs.

Kirkwood (8-0) is scheduled for a doubleheader Sunday against McHenry.
