Heading east for a twin bill against one of the top team’s the east side of the state has to offer, the Adna softball team defeated Warden twice Saturday afternoon, 11-9, and then 15-0 in five innings for the sweep.
The Pirates have still yet to lose to a 2B team this season.
In the first contest, Adna took a commanding 11-3 lead in the top of the fourth, before letting the Cougars back into it late, with 3-spots in the fourth and sixth innings. The Pirates did just enough to escape with the two-run win.
Karlee VonMoos tossed 5 1/3 innings, giving up nine runs with six earned on eight hits and a walk with four strikeouts. Ava Simms stepped in to pitch the final five outs and recorded five strikeouts.
Brooklyn Loose continued her hot streak at the plate, hitting two home runs with three RBIs and three runs scored. Simms also mashed a home run, going 2 for 3 with three RBIs, and Kendall Humphrey hit another homer to score three more runs for the Pirates.
The bats stayed hot for Game 2, as well, in a 15-0 five inning win.
Loose hit another home run, as well as VonMoos, Danika Hallom, and Avery LaFontaine.
Simms pitched a complete game in the circle and allowed just one hit in the shutout, with eight strikeouts.
The Pirates return to play against Morton-White Pass at home on Monday.
