The Forester softball team finally got their season rolling at home this past weekend, after unpredictable weather has kept them off the field until now.
The squad has gone 4-3 since last Friday, losing to Robert Morris College, splitting a double-header with Knox, beating Wheaton in a double-header, and splitting with University of Chicago.
The split with Knox was a disappointment for the Foresters, who usually have little problem with the squad, but they rebounded in a big way the next day.
Disappointment was expressed by coach Joe Kinsella at the annual Spring Sports Awards Banquet, in which he described regret over the loss.
Taking on Wheaton, who they had lost to twice earlier this season, including a game in which pitcher Gretchen Galasek threw a no-hitter, they wanted revenge.
Lake Forest showed resolve in crushing Wheaton twice, 13-5 and 8-0.
Monday, they traveled to the University of Chicago and, after putting up a strong win the first game, winning 10-6 failed to capitalize in the second, in which they fell 5-7.
Over the course of the games, senior Christy Condon achieved her landmark, recording her 100th career RBI as a Forester.
The Foresters will continue their league schedule this weekend as they host Grinnell College on Senior/Alumni Day.
