IHCC Takes Two from North Central

Trenton, Mo. -- Felisha Durflinger homered in each game and the Indian Hills Warriors got good pitching performances in sweeping a doubleheader from North Central (Mo.) on Tuesday by scores of 6-1 and 10-2.

Durflinger had identical numbers at the plate in each game -- two hits, a home run, two runs scored and four RBIs.  That was enough support all by itself for IHCC pitchers Kendle Schieber and Mackenzie Haight.

Schieber scattered eight hits and struck out nine in the opener; Haight allowed only three hits and fanned three in game two as the Warriors picked up their 4th and 5th wins of the season.

"We had solid pitching and aggressive at-bats all day long," said IHCC coach Jim Overturf.  "It was definitely our best, most complete day that we've had so far this spring."

Durflinger had a two-run homer and a two-run double in the first game and she, along with Laci Moore and Olivia Starcevich, scored twice.

Cheyenne Ellis had two hits, two runs scored and two RBIs in the second game.  Hiliary Pennington and Schieber joined Durflinger and Ellis with two hits and both also scored two times.

The Warriors poured across nine runs in the 2nd inning to settle matters early.

The decision has already been made to postpone Friday's scheduled doubleheader with Iowa Western.  It's still hoped that Saturday's DH with Illinois Central will be played.
