Muscatine, IA -- Indian Hills and Muscatine, the teams that battled it out in the final game of last spring's Region 11 postseason tournament, opened the 2011 conference season with a doubleheader split on Tuesday. The Warriors won the first game, 7-2, but were blanked by MCC's Michaela Fligg on just two hits in the second game as the Cardinals got revenge with a 9-0 win.
Indian Hills had won both games they played against Muscatine in last year's regional tourney. And they won the schools' first meeting this year, in Tuesday's opener.
IHCC took advantage of nine walks from MCC starting pitcher Rachel Brisker. The Warriors scored their seven runs on just five hits, two of them by Lindsey Evans who also drove in two runs. Starter Kylee Coughlin and reliever Hannah Washburn combined to give up only six hits and two runs. Muscatine left 10 runners on base.
IHCC pitchers Ali Martin and Sonja Holmes were knocked around in game two, surrendering nine runs and 12 hits. Tory Beaver and Sarah Wilcox had the only hits for Indian Hills as the Warriors were held in check in the five-inning game.
Indian Hills' season record is 15-9. The Warriors resume conference play with a doubleheader at Southeastern next Sunday, after they play two games against the Graceland JV on Saturday.
