GLENDIVE,
Mont. -- Bianca Duran fanned 10 Dawson Community College batters as the Western
Nebraska Community College softball scored four times in the ninth inning to
register the 5-1 9-inning win over the Bucs in Glendive, Mont., on Saturday.
The
second game saw the Cougars received home runs from Aria Agle and Kasey Cash to
roll past Dawson 10-5 to pick up the two conference wins.
The
first game was a nail-biter as Duran was pitching a gem, striking out 10 and
walking just one. Dawson's only run was a home run in the fourth inning. Other
than that, Duran controlled the Bucs.
Offensively
for the Cougars, they started well, scoring once in the first. They were then
shut down until the night inning when they exploded for four runs.
The
Cougars offensive attack was led by Aria Agle, who went 4-for-5 with a double
and two RBIs.
WNCC
quickly got on the scoreboard as Sarah Hawryluk walked and scored on a Duran
single for the 1-0 lead.
The
Cougars had opportunities to score in regulation, leaving the bases loaded in
the fourth and the sixth innings. The ninth inning was when the Cougars opened
up the contest and Danielle Hearn got things started with a lead-off home run
to leftfield. The home run generated plenty of excitement as Jocelyn Stubbs and
Kasey Cash each walked, while Mariah Shepherd singled to load the bases. Agle
then singled to scored two and a Bitton hit scored Cash.
WNCC
had four players record multiple hits in the contest. Besides Agle, Hawryluk
went 2-for-3 with a run scored and two stolen bases. Stubbs went 2-for-4 with a
run scored, while Shepherd went 2-for-5 with a run scored.
The
second game saw the two squads combine on 27 hits. WNCC, however, led from
start to finish, jumping out to a 5-0 lead before watching the Bucs cut the
lead to 5-4.
WNCC
scored once in the first as Hawryluk singled and scored on a stolen base. WNCC
added two runs each in the second and third innings. Agle belted a 2-run home
run in the second, while Cash had a 2-run dinger in the third inning.
The
Cougars put the game away by scoring twice in the fourth and three times in the
fifth to pick up their 34th win of the season.
WNCC
pounded out 14 hits as five players finished with two or more hits. Hawryluk
led the way with a 3-for-5 game with three runs scored and two stolen bases.
Also collecting two hits each were Hearn, Stubbs, Cash and Gabi Palacios.
Amanda
Jones picked up the win, going seven innings while giving up 13 hits, four five
runs and striking out two. She allowed just one earned run, while facing 35
batters and throwing 121 pitches.
The
two squads will be back in action Sunday when they have another doubleheader.
The Cougars will then return to action Wednesday when they face Iowa Western
Community College in Kearney, before returning home for their final home games
next weekend against Garden City Community College.
