Council Bluffs, IA -- For the third time in as many conference doubleheaders, Indian Hills came away with a split. This time, it was the Warriors' first matchup with Iowa Western. IWCC took the first game on Tuesday, 3-2, before the Warriors claimed the nightcap, 4-3.
The results leave Indian Hills in a two-way tie for second place in the conference, one game behind Iowa Western. The Warriors have their final six Region 11 games on their home diamond, and they'll play those games in a five-day span at the end of April.
On Tuesday, Indian Hills saw a 2-1 lead evaporate in the first game, thanks to three IHCC errors in a two-run 4th inning for the Reivers.
Lindsey Evans and Tory Beaver scored the IHCC runs in the top of the 4th. But the defense let down starting pitcher Kylee Coughlin, who was lifted with one out in the bottom of the inning, and reliever Ali Martin. The two runs in the 4th charged to Martin were both unearned.
Kylee Homewood and Beaver each had two hits and Evans and Nicole Steinle one apiece for the Warriors.
Steinle came through with a pair of run-scoring doubles and three RBIs in game two. She also scored two of the four runs. Morgan Powers had two hits and Beaver drove in the other run with a triple.
Indian Hills scored two runs in both the 1st and 3rd innings. Iowa Western got a run in the 1st and drew to within a run with two in the 5th. Hannah Washburn got out of further trouble after allowing the two 5th-inning runs and shut down the Reivers over the final two innings to gain her 11th win of the season against only three losses.
Washburn struck out seven and scattered six hits. The Warriors played error-free softball in the second game.
Indian Hills (28-13) will play in the Daffodil Classic in St. Louis this weekend. Their next conference action will come in a doubleheader at home against Iowa Western on April 22.
