NORTH PLATTE – The Western Nebraska Community College softball team opened the fall portion of their season in impressive fashion in registering a doubleheader sweep of North Platte Community College on Tuesday in North Platte.
WNCC sophomore Ashton Hughes went three innings and struck out seven and sophomore Megan Bourdon had a grand slam in powering the Cougars to a 10-0 win in the opening game. Jacqui Cappuccilli and Sarah Hawryluk each had home runs in game two as the Cougars pounded out a 12-1 win.
Game one saw Hughes and freshman pitcher Amanda Jones sizzle from the circle. The two combined for 12 strike outs in tossing the 3-hit shutout. Hughes allowed just one hit in her three innings of work, while Jones game up two hits and struck out five in her for innings of work.
The second game was another impressive performance offensively and defensively. Sarah Ward-Hadden and Aria Agle combined to shut down the North Platte bats. Ward-Hadden went three innings, scattering six hits, striking out two and allowing one run. Agle was very impressive in her four innings of work, allowing one hit, walking two and striking out three.
Offensively, the Cougar women were ripping the leather off the ball. Hawryluk connected on a 2-run home run and then Cappuccilli went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and two RBIs.
Bourdon continued her hot hitting by going 2-for-2 with two runs scored, two walks and two RBIs; while Rae-lee Tresierra had a double and five RBIs.
WNCC will be back in action on Saturday when they host the University of Colorado in a doubleheader at Volunteer Field beginning at 11 a.m.
