#MustangsWin! CBC Sweeps William Woods

Erik Holth, CBC Sports Information Director

            Conway, Ark. – Returning to American Midwest Conference play this afternoon, Central Baptist College softball hosted the Owls of William Woods University at City of College Park. CBC (20-14, 8-2 AMC) took care of business, capitalizing on WWU (12-19, 6-2 AMC) mistakes to sweep the doubleheader 8-5 and 8-0.

GAME ONE – CBC 8, WWU 5

            William Woods got on the board first in game one, taking a 1-0 lead quickly in the second. CBC would take the lead in the third on a groundout by Jordyn Frederic and an error by the WWU left fielder to lead 2-1 after three. A WWU homer tied the game in the fifth before CBC blew the game open in the sixth thanks to back-to-back two-run singles by Lauren Anderson and Savannah Sanford and a two-run homer by Kori Truelove, her second of the season to make it 8-2 after six. WWU would get three in the seventh before Ysabella Esquivel, who allowed one hit and one run with two walks and a strikeout, locked down the victory. Hannah Work picked up win number eight by going six innings and allowing four runs on five hits with three walks and four Ks.

GAME TWO – CBC 8, WWU 0 (FIVE INNINGS)

            Every CBC starter had at least one hit in game two and the Mustangs score quickly in the second on a fielder's choice to make it 1-0. The Mustangs would put the game away in the fourth with seven runs thanks to a two-run double by Anderson, a triple by Heather Hoffman, a single by Madalyn Tubbs, a two-run single by Madeline Bruce and a steal of home by Sanford. Averie Ayers was dominant in the circle, striking out six and walking two while allowing just two hits in her seventh win of the season.

UP NEXT

            CBC will host Cottey tomorrow at noon on what will be Senior Day at City of Colleges Park. Ayers, Emily Cole, Allison Wagle, Hoffman and Katie Smith will be honored for their contributions to the Mustangs prior to tomorrow's contests.
