WNCC softball splits with Black Hills State

SPEARFISH, S.D. – The Western Nebraska Community College softball team went 11 straight innings without scoring a run against Black Hills State College.

Game two was a different story for the Cougars as they pounded out 12 hits, including three extra base hits. Black Hills State scored first, notching a run in the first inning to hold a 1-0 lead through five innings.

It was the sixth inning when the Cougar’s bats started to come alive and it all started with Ashton Hughes 3-run home run that jump started the Cougar’s offense in the sixth inning. WNCC led 4-1 after six innings.

WNCC built upon its lead in the seventh with six runs crossing the plate. The big hit was a 2-run scoring triple by Alverson.

WNCC was paced by Taylor Anderson, who went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored. Alverson finished the game going 2-for-4 with a triple and two RBIs, while Jordan Schoepflin went 2-for-5 with two runs scored.
