Shepeck Hits Homer, Gets Pitching Win For WMU
KALAMAZOO----Gladstone High School graduate MacKenzie Shepeck worked five perfect innings to preserve Western Michigan University's 4-2 win over Northern Illinois on Sunday in Kalamzaoo. Shepeck entered the circle to start the top of the third inning , trailing 2-1. She went to work right away, striking out three batters, forcing four ground outs, two pop outs and six fly outs during her five perfect innings. Shepeck also hit a home run over the right field fence to put WMU into the lead, 3-2. The Huskies batters worked Shepeck to a three-ball count only once and that was NIU's final batter of the game, Ashley Kopp, who struck out swinging on a 3-2 offering.
