BELOIT, Wis. -- Alverno College lost both games of a nonconference doubleheader to host Beloit College, 1-0 and 5-4, Thursday evening at Strong Field.

The Buccaneers (12-18) needed eight innings to down the Inferno (19-13) in the first game, and rallied from a 3-0 Alverno lead in the nightcap to sweep the visitors.

In the opener, the closest the Inferno would get to scoring was in the top of the sixth after Sam Kasprzak led off with a single to center field. Kasprzak was sacrificed over to second, before being tagged out on a close play at the plate after Kristin Holub put the ball in play.

The Bucs led off the bottom of the eighth with a double, and then connected for just their fourth hit of the contest with a two-out RBI-double to win in walk-off fashion.

Sarah Brumett accounted for half of the Inferno's hits in the contest as she was 2-for-3 at the plate.

Erin Dulek (8-7) picked up the loss after going the distance with eight strike outs and no walks. The senior right-hander eclipsed 100 strikeouts for the second-straight year after today's performance.

Beloit's Jen Zucker (10-6) earned the win after allowing just four Inferno hits and tallied seven Ks.

Alverno scored a pair for quick runs in the first inning of game two on back-to-back RBI hits by Holub and Ashlie Rossi.

Olivia Schneider singled up the middle to score Rossi in the third for the 3-0 lead, but the host Bucs used a 5-run fifth to pull ahead.

Rossi knocked in Mary Kate Sulikowski in the sixth to pull within a run, but the Inferno left 11 on base in the contest and weren't able to even the score.

Schneider (10-5) was tagged with the loss in 4.1 innings of work, while Beloit's Megan Salm (2-9) got the complete-game victory.

Next up for Alverno is Edgewood College on Saturday's Senior Day at Alverno Field.
