Conway, Ark. – Stepping out of American Midwest Conference play for a midweek in-state contest, Central Baptist College softball took on the Royals of Ecclesia College this afternoon at City of Colleges Park. CBC (20-14) run-ruled EC (1-5) in both games, beating them 9-1 in six innings in game one before shutting them out 8-0 in five innings in game two.
GAME ONE – CBC 9, ECCLESIA 1 (SIX INNINGS)
The Mustangs wasted no time putting runs on the board in game one, getting a two-run home run by Abi West, her eighth, in the first inning to make it 2-0. CBC would tack on four in the second thanks to a two-run double by Ysabella Esquivel, a single by Madeline Bruce and a double by West, making the score 6-0 after two innings. Lauren Anderson would hit a solo home run, her fifth, in the third inning to make it 7-0 and West drove in her fourth run of the contest with a fielder's choice in the fourth to make it 8-0. Ecclesia would plate a run on a sac fly in the fifth to snap CBC's scoreless innings streak at 19 and 2/3 before Bruce ended the contest with a sac fly in the sixth. Hannah Work earned the win, throwing five innings and allowing one run on three hits with one strikeout. Isabella Sawyers pitched the final inning, walking a batter and striking out one as well.
GAME TWO – CBC 8, ECCLESIA 0 (FIVE INNINGS)
The Mustangs struck quickly again in game two, plating two in the first on a double by Anderson. CBC would make it 5-0 in the second on a groundout, a single by Bruce and a single by Savannah Sanford. The final three runs crossed the plate in the third on a single by Elizabeth Stoufer, a single by West and a wild pitch. Alex Jeter picked up the win, throwing three innings and allowing just three hits with four strikeouts. Mallory Reynolds pitched the final two innings, allowing just one walk.
