Sweep Puts Winning Streak at Nine

Pella, IA -- The Indian Hills softball ran its current winning streak to nine games with a doubleheader sweep of the Central College junior varsity on Wednesday. The Warriors won 9-0 in five innings and 9-1 to run their season record to 24-10.

IHCC pitchers have allowed a total of only eight runs in the nine-game stretch.

On Wednesday, it was Sonja Holmes, Hannah Washburn and Emily Hemming that continued the outstanding pitching the Warriors have featured of late.

Holmes spun a two-hit shutout in the first game and her teammates back her with a 12-hit attack. Tory Beaver and Sydney Hallbauer had homers, Morgan Powers collected three hits and Hallbauer, Kristen Paulson and Jordan Grell had two each. Kylee Homewood knocked in three runs.

The Warriors started fast with four runs in the first and five more in the second.

Washburn went the first four innings in the second game and recorded her 10th win of the season. She allowed only hit and so did Hemming, who finished up the sweep with three innings of work.

Indian Hills pounded out 17 hits in the nightcap. Powers and Sarah Wilcox were both 4-for-4 and Cortney Wood also had four hits. Wood scored three runs and Hallbauer had two RBIs.

Indian Hills is slated to host Illinois Central in a makeup doubleheader at home on Thursday.
