LA GRANDE, Ore. – Eastern Oregon University put the final touches on a four-game sweep of the Bushnell softball team on Sunday.
Kaylie Hoskins once again dominated the story for The Mountaineers (17-8, 8-4 CCC) as she threw another no-hitter against the Beacons for her second straight and fourth of the season.
GAME ONE: Eastern Oregon 16, Bushnell 0 (5 Innings)
Hoskins struck out nine batters, but the Beacons were able to avoid the perfect game as they pulled out a walk to
Faith Wayman in the second and a hit-by-pitch for
Bryana Yoshida.
The EOU offense spread out the damage with 11 hits and runs in all four innings and the biggest rally coming in an eight-run third inning. Three pitchers played for the Beacons with
Leslie Reynaga (1-6) taking the loss as she allowed 11 runs on six hits with six walks in 2.1 innings.
GAME TWO: Eastern Oregon 10, Bushnell 7
The non-conference fourth game of the series was a little more palatable for the Beacons as their offense was finally able to break through, collecting nine hits.
Wayman went 3-for-4 while both
Krystal Akagi and
Madison Steelman posted home runs.
Freshman
Liz Hillier (1-2) picked up her first career complete game, striking out seven batters while giving up six hits over six innings of work.
Next:
The Beacons (4-19, 1-10 CCC) return home next weekend to take on Providence (1-14, 1-8)
