Five errors doomed Illinois State against the Huskies on Tuesday night, as NIU came away the 5-3 victors.

Morgan Bittner started the game for NIU and pitched a complete game, allowing three runs on two home runs, walking six and striking out six for the win.

Andrea Colosimo led the offense going 3-for-4 and Dani Thompson drove in the only earned run against ISU pitcher Chrissy Burton.

The Huskies jumped to the early lead with three runs in the second and one in the third but ISU posted three in the top of the fifth to pull within one. NIU increased the lead with one run in the sixth.

Bittner struck out the final hitter of the game, ISU’s Michelle Henderson, with runners on first and second.
