Ranked Teams Fall as Warriors Get Weekend Sweep
Overland Park, Kan. -- The Indian Hills softball team put together as complete a performance as they have all spring in sweeping four games in a weekend tournament hosted by Johnson County (KS) CC.
Warriors' pitching gave up only three runs in the four games, IHCC committed only one error and there were timely hits in each game as Indian Hills improved to 22-10 for the season.
Two of the wins came against Butler (KS) CC, ranked 9th in the latest Division I ratings. Indian Hills also knocked off the No. 3-ranked team in Division II, Iowa Central, and finished off the sweep with a 9-0 whitewashing of host Johnson County.
On Saturday, Hannah Washburn held Butler in check, allowing only six hits while striking out a season-high 13 in a 3-1 win.
Indian Hills managed only four hits, but three went for extra bases and provided all the Warriors' runs. Tory Beaver and Cortney Wood each had an RBI double and Nicole Steinle slammed a solo homer.
It was Kylee Coughlin's time to shine in the second game as the sophomore threw a three-hit shutout in a 3-0 blanking of Iowa Central. Batterymate Sydney Hallbauer supplied a three-run homer and Kylee Homewood doubled twice. Morgan Powers also had two hits.
A 3-2 win against Butler started Sunday's action. Freshman Ali Martin went the first three innings for IHCC, Sonja Holmes the next three and Coughlin came on to register a save with a scoreless 7th.
Jordan Grell continued her torrid hitting of late with a two-run homer in the 1st to start the scoring and Homewood knocked in what proved to be the winning run with a 2nd-inning single.
Homewood and Grell both went deep in the final game of the tourney, a 9-0 win over Johnson County. Washburn and Coughlin combined on a three-hit shutout and eight different Warriors had hits. Homewood added a pair of doubles to her round-tripper and Wood had two hits.
IHCC coach Jim Overturf was understandably happy with the weekend's results, saying "The girls kept their focus all weekend. It was just a really solid tournament for us."
The pitching has been a little inconsistent lately, but there were no problems in that area in the four-game sweep. "Our pitching really stepped it up to do what they had to do," said Overturf.
The Warriors will take a season-best seven-game winning streak into a doubleheader at Pella against the Central JV on Wednesday.
