Eagles Get Swept in First CCC Home Games
Kirkland, Wash. – Corban University walked away from day one with two wins. The Warriors shut out the Eagles, 9-0, in 5 innings and won the second game 9-5 in 7 innings.
Game One: Northwest University 0, Corban University 9 (5 innings)
Northwest University (7-11, 1-3 CCC) started the first game with Rachel Hawley pitching. Rachel showed well over the week in Arizona but seems to have a rough start this morning. The Warriors started the first inning with the bases loaded but Hawley was able to escape without allowing a run. The next 4 innings were much more difficult to slow down the powerful bats of the Warriors.
Sabrina Boyd started the day off well for the Warriors (9-4, 2-0 CCC) by only allowing 4 hits and striking out 6 eagles in 5 innings. Boyd did not allow any Eagles to get beyond second base for the entire game.
Game Two: Northwest University 5, Corban University 9
Hannah Yelas did everything she could to keep Northwest University (7-12, 1-4 CCC) in the game. Not only did Yelas pitch all seven innings, she also went 3 for 4 at the plate. Harshaw and Tighe both had doubles in the bottom of the 4
th inning to pull the game with in one run.
Corban University (10-4, 3-0 CCC) seemed to make changes at the right time. Rachel White came into pitch in the bottom of the 4
th to shut down the Eagles energy! Then the Warriors responded with two more runs, one of the runs being a single-run homerun from Mahina Chong, in the top of the 5
th to extend their lead to 7 to 4. Corban University picked up two unearned runs in the 7
th inning to take the 9 to 5 victory.
