Senior utility player Caylee Cook rounds third after her solo home run, her first since 2014, during SIU's 8-6 win against Eastern Illinois on Saturday at Charlotte West Stadium.
Senior designated player Caylee Cook hit a go-ahead double to right-center to score junior first baseman Shaye Harre from first, giving SIU a 2-1 lead.
Two batters later, junior center fielder Merri Anne Patterson sent the ball over the left field wall, just inside the foul pole to extend the lead to 4-1.
Sophomore Jessica Heese pinch hit for Patterson in the sixth, flying out on the first pitch of the at-bat, after Patterson struck out looking in the fourth.
