Date: April 23, 2007
Location: WESTERVILLE, Ohio

The Big Red's 10-game winning streak came to an end on Monday as Otterbein College handed Denison their first losses since April 9. The Cardinals scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the seventh in game one, to win 7-6 and they held off DU in game two for a 2-1 victory.

Denison had 13 hits in the opener and was led by Erin Porter, Andrea Carella and Ali Silver who all had two hits apiece. Jen Anthony got the start and pitched six innings, allowing nine hits and three earned runs. She left the game with the score tied 6-6. The loss went to Rachel Thomas who entered the game in the seventh inning.

Bri Scrofano was the starter in game two and suffered the hard-luck defeat. Otterbein got both of their runs in the first inning via a two-run double. Scrofano allowed only four hits and walked three while striking out three.

Two of Denison's four hits came off the bat of Carella. Denison drops to 23-13 on the season and will travel to Oberlin on Saturday for a 1 p.m. game with the Yeowomen.
