Ottumwa -- It didn't take the Indian Hills softball team long to recover from the disappointment of having a 10-game winning streak halted. Less than 24 hours after Iowa Central swept a twinbill from the Warriors, winning 5-2 and 6-1, Indian Hills turned the tables with a home sweep, 4-2 and 6-0.
Morgan Powers got the IHCC scoring started in Sunday's first game with an RBI-single. After Iowa Central plated two runs, the Warriors went ahead for good with three in the 5th. Corney Wood singled, Kristen Paulson doubled and Kylee Homewood ripped a two-run single for the lead. An insurance run scored on Lindsey Evans' single.
Ali Martin worked the first five innings for IHCC and got the victory, thanks to the three-run bottom of the 5th. Hannah Washburn pitched two hitless innings in relief, striking out five.
The second game featured an outstanding pitching performance by Warrior sophomore Sonja Holmes. Holmes scattered seven hits and struck out four without walking anyone.
Her teammates backed her with single runs in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th innings and three in the 5th. Tory Beaver's three-run homer provided the 5th-inning runs. Powers and Wilcox had the other RBIs. Wilcox was 3-for-3.
Iowa Central scored three runs in the bottom of the 5th against IHCC starter Hannah Washburn to break a 2-2 tie in Saturday's opener. Homewood singled to drive in the two runs for Indian Hills, one of only three hits for the Warriors.
The Tritons broke on top early in game two with three runs in the 1st against Kylee Coughlin. They added three more in the 5th. The lone run for the Warriors was driven in by Wilcox with a 6th-inning single.
The wins by ICCC Saturday gave them an eight-game winning streak. But that streak ended on Sunday when the Warriors hoped they started a new string of their own.
Now 27-12, Indian Hills returns to conference play on Tuesday when they play at Iowa Western.
