STOCKTON, Calif. - The Northern Illinois University softball team fell to Drake, 7-2, in the first game of a doubleheader at Pacific's Bill Simoni Field in Stockton, Calif. Tuesday afternoon.

With the game tied 2-2 heading into the bottom of the sixth, the Bulldogs scored five runs on three hits and three NIU errors to take a 7-2 lead. The Huskies (7-9), who trailed 2-1 heading into the top of the sixth, tied the game when Jennifer Barnett (Indianapolis, Ind./Roncalli) when she delivered a two-out, bases-loaded single up the middle to score Zoe Sinner (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove South) from third.

The Northern Illinois defense opened the door for a big inning, allowing the first two Drake batters to reach on errors in the bottom of the sixth.

NIU returns to the diamond this afternoon when the Huskies face Pacific in Stockton, Calif. First pitch is set for 5 p.m. CT.
