CRESTON, IA – The Northeast Community College softball team swept Southwestern Community College in a doubleheader here yesterday, 12-1 and 6-5.
“We swung the bat well,” said Iris Woodhead, Northeast coach. “I was pleased with that. We haven’t seen that in the last few games, so I think it will give us great momentum coming into our closing weekend.”
In the first game, Emily Sherstone went 1-for-1 with three runs, two base-on-balls, two hit-by-pitches, an RBI and a double. Carlyee Arndt finished 2-for-4 with a run, double and RBI, and Ashley Gilsdorf (3-for-4) had two runs and an RBI.
Game two saw Kianna Garza going 3-for-5 with three runs, a home run and three RBIs. Claudia Navarro went 3-for-4 with a run, double and RBI; Amy Rogers (2-for-4), an RBI; Arndt (3-for-3), with an RBI, hit-by-pitch and two doubles.
