The Cougars belted 10 extra base hits in game one, including three doubles by sophomore Katie Groves as WNCC ran to a 15-8 win. The 20th-ranked Cougars were even more explosive in the second game, pounding out 12 hits, including four home runs, in a 16-7 win.
WNCC, 36-18, will face Luna Community College Saturday in another doubleheader.
Luna actually led the Cougars early in game one, holding a 1-0 lead. That was short-lived as the Cougars erupted for four second inning runs and then put the game with a six-run seventh inning to earn the victory.
The Cougars offensive eruption started in the second inning when sophomore Brittany Chacon launched a 2-run home run to help WNCC to a 4-1 lead. Allie Alverson got in the hit parade, launching a 2-run home run in the fifth inning to help the Cougars take a 7-3 lead.
Still, the Cougars had to fight to the end as they held a 9-8 lead entering the seventh inning. That is where they put the game away as they plated six runs. The big hit was a 2-run home run by Megan Bourdon.
WNCC had plenty of offensive weapons throughout the batting lineup. Alverson led the way with a 3-for-4 contest, including three runs scored, three RBIs, a double and a home run. Groves finished the contest going 3-for-5 with three doubles and a run scored, while Jordan Schoepflin went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, Bourdon going 2-for-5 with a double, home run and two RBIs, and Chacon going 2-for-3 with a double, home run, two runs scored, and four RBIs.
Schoepflin picked up the win going 3 2/3 innings. Shoepflin gave up seven hits, three earned runs and struck out two. Taylor Anderson started the game, going 3 1/3 with three strike outs and five hits.
WNCC completely dominated in the second game as they scored five times in the first inning and then added seven runs in the fourth to go up 16-1.
WNCC hammered four home runs in the contest. Groves started things by rocketing a 2-run shot in the first inning.
The Cougars then had three home runs in the fourth inning to open up the game. Bourdon started the inning with a solo shot. Anderson then followed with a 2-run shot followed by a 3-run home run by Jackie Cappuccilli that scored Groves and Adena Hagen.
Groves and Cappuccilli each finished the game going 3-for-3. Groves had a double, home run, four runs scored and four RBIs, while Cappuccilli had a double, home run, two runs scored and five RBIs. Also collecting multiple hits were Megan Burditt, who went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, and Bourdon with a 2-for-2 day with a double, home run, two RBIs and a run scored.
Stephanie Townsend picked up the win, going 4 2/3 innings while striking out two, walking two and allowing four hits. Schoepflin finished off the game by tossing the final 1/3 of an inning by allowing six hits and six earned runs.
