Marshalltown, Ia. -- Indian Hills scored early in both games and the Warriors' pitching made those tallies stand up as IHCC swept a doubleheader at Marshalltown CC on Tuesday, winning 2-0 and 3-1.
Hannah Washburn and Ali Martin teamed up for the first game shutout, spacing eight hits very effectively. Washburn went the first five innings and Martin left the tying runs on base in the 7th to end it. She retired three straight hitters after MCC got consecutive singles to start the inning.
Carrie Hudson slugged a first-inning home run to give the Warriors the only run they would need. Courtney Wood doubled home a run in the 2nd. Lindsey Evans had three hits and Hudson two for IHCC.
Martin saved the second game as well, again stranding the potential tying runs on base in the bottom of the 7th. She came on after starter Grace Cleair gave the Warriors 6 2/3 strong innings, allowing only a sixth-inning solo homer.
Indian Hills scored two unearned runs in the top of the 1st in the nightcap and added a run in the 6th. Wood and Megan Bix each had two-hit games and Wood and Evans had RBIs.
The sweep came on the heels of Monday's pair of wins at Muscatine and leaves IHCC with a season record of 26-23.
They are right back in action on Wednesday, hosting Iowa Western in a league doubleheader starting at 2:00 at Hellyer Field.
