West Burlington, IA -- The Indian Hills softball team showed some toughness on Sunday. The Warriors dropped a 5-4 game to Southeastern CC in the opener of a conference doubleheader, then pounded out 15 hits, including three home runs, in a 16-3 rout of the Blackhawks in the second game.
The split is the second one in conference play for IHCC, now 16-10 overall.
One bad pitch spelled doom for Indian Hills and starter Kylee Coughlin in game one. Coughlin took a 4-2 lead into the bottom of the 6th inning, but she gave up a three-run homer to Joseline Torrealba that proved to be the game-winner for SCC.
IHCC jumped out to a 4-0 lead with four runs in the 3rd. Jordan Grell had a double and a triple for the Warriors who benefited from a couple of SCC errors in their big inning.
Southeastern started their comeback with a homer, a two-run shot by Myleinys Graterol in the 3rd, and ended it with their second round-tripper.
The Blackhawks slugged two more homers in the second game but they weren't nearly enough against a rejuvenated IHCC offense. Nicole Steinle had a three-run homer in the 1st and Grell went deep with the bases loaded in the 2nd. Jenna Wolfe also homered in the five-inning second game.
Cortney Wood was 4-for-4 and four Warriors -- Sarah Wilcox, Tory Beaver, Kristen Paulson and Wolfe -- all had two hits. Grell had five RBIs and Steinle and Wolfe three each.
Hannah Washburn was the beneficiary of the offensive explosion, going all five innings for IHCC while giving up six hits and striking out two.
A home doubleheader with Illinois Central on Tuesday is next on the schedule for IHCC.
