Des Moines, Ia. -- On a day in which they played "incredibly well" according to coach Jim Overturf, Indian Hills took a doubleheader from Iowa Central CC on Tuesday, winning 3-0 and 6-3 against the eighth-ranked (DII) Tritons.
Sophomores Hannah Washburn and Ali Martin teamed up on the first-game shutout and, along with freshman Grace Cleair, shut down ICCC in the nightcap as well.
Washburn started the opener and allowed the lone Iowa Central hit in her five-inning stint. She struck out nine and walked two. Martin fanned two in two innings and notched the save.
IHCC scored single runs in the 1st, 3rd and 4th innings.
Courtney Wood had three hits, including two doubles, and Lindsey Evans two for the Warriors and Evans, Sam Norris and Hiliary Pennington scored the runs.
Martin started the second game and went the first five innings. She gave way to Cleair in the 6th and Washburn earned a save by pitching the 7th.
Indian Hills pounded out 12 hits -- three more by Wood, and two each for Evans and Pennington. Norris scored twice and drove in two runs for the Warriors who moved within a game of .500 with the sweep.
They are 20-21 and have a busy weekend with six games in three days, starting with a doubleheader at Muscatine CC on Friday.
