Tritons win twice

NORFOLK, Neb. — The Iowa Central softball team took a pair of games from Northeast (Neb.) here on Saturday.

Scores were 4-2 and 8-6 in favor of the Tritons.

Head coach Rick Sandquist’s squad had only four hits in the opener, but they were timely. Kennedy Newell, Cheyenne Andersen and Katerina Anthony all drove in runs for Iowa Central (26-21 overall). Anthony’s came on a solo home run.

Jessa May tossed a complete-game eight hitter, walking none and striking out eight.

”It was good to get Jessa back,” Sandquist said. ”This was her first start since March 12. She threw really well.

”We didn’t have a great day at the plate, but we came up with some big hits when they were needed.”

In the nightcap, Andersen was 2-for-5 with a homer and three RBI. Anthony went 3-for-4 and drove in a pair.

Alexis Egan scored twice, and Lexi Dunks recorded two hits.

Kallie Malloy went the distance in the second contest, allowing four earned runs and striking out four. A five-run third inning with the Tritons down 3-1 put them ahead for good.

Iowa Central is on the road again Sunday, facing top-ranked and undefeated DMACC at noon. The Bears are 32-0 overall and 14-0 in the ICCAC.
