In the win against Chadron, the Cougars put together a 3-run third inning and then had a strong sixth-inning defensive stand to claim the win.
Chadron scored first on a first-inning solo home run by Allison Hendrickson. The Eagles stayed on top until the top of the third when WNCC scored three times with two outs to go up 3-1. Kelsi Baldwin started things with a single.
After Alec Voci walked, Amanda Hensley delivered a 2-strike double to score Smith and Voci to put WNCC up 3-1.
Neither team scored again as winning pitcher Natasha Dypchey shutdown the eagles with a 9-strikeout performance, including being a part of the final three outs in the sixth inning to stop a Chadron State potential tying threat getting Katelyn Moore to strikeout with runners at second and third to end the game.
In the previous games, WNCC led 5-3 over Montana State-Billings on a Lauren Mills 2-run home run in the fifth inning. Jessie McNabb started things in the inning with a lead-off triple followed by a run-scoring double by Hensley, before Mills had the two-out homerun.
WNCC couldn’t keep the lead, giving up five runs in the bottom of the inning on five hits as the time limit expired.
Kelsey Garner took the loss despite striking out five and scattering 10 hits. WNCC had two players record double-figure games. Smith went 2-for-3 with a double; and Hensley went 2-for-2 with a double, two RBIs and a run scored. McNabb and Mills each had two runs scored.
Against the Colorado School of Mines, Allie Griffin picked up the loss despite allowing three runs. WNCC just couldn’t manage a run despite getting five hits and stranding three runners in scoring position in the second and fourth inning. McNabb led the team with two hits, both singles, on 2-for-3 hitting.
WNCC will finish the Triple Crown tournament today when they face two more RMAC teams in
