The Kansas City Kansas Community College Lady Blue Devil softball team scored a combined 21 runs to sweep a doubleheader from Ellsworth Community College Monday afternoon.
In game one, the offensive attack was led by LaTisha Thomas, who went 4 for 4 with a double and an RBI. Savannah Dungan added three hits of her own including a double and a homerun, driving in three runs. Tiffany Killam drove in three, going 2 for 3 with a homerun.
Brittany Gustin took the mound for the Blue Devils and went the distance, throwing six innings, allowing only two runs and striking out seven. Gustin tallied her first win on the young season as the Blue Devils won 10-2.
Game two was more of the same for the Blue Devils. Another strong offensive performance, with nearly the whole lineup contributing. Eight of the 12 hits were tallied by the top of the order. Elizabeth Seimears had a day to remember. On the mound she threw a complete game, two-hit shutout, to earn her second win of the season. Seimears helped her own cause at the plate, adding two hits of her own including a homerun.
Coach Kacy Tillery was pleased with her team’s offensive performance.
“It was a great offensive day for us,” she said. “Elizabeth Seimears pitched a great game and also hit well. Helped herself out with a homer.”
The Blue Devils’ conference season continues today on the road against Highland Community College at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
