LAKEWOOD, Colo. – Colorado Christian University softball team needed only 10 innings combined to sweep the Yellow Jackets (1-22, 1-17 RMAC) on Monday as the teams played another double header. 

This time around, CCU took game one by a score of 9-1 and game two, 12-2 – both games lasted five innings. 

GAME 1 

The Jackets opened up the first game on Monday afternoon with an opening 1-0 lead in the top of the first after 2B Katie Campo had an RBI double to right field that allowed LF Nia Shumpert to score.  

That would be all the scoring the Jackets' offense would produce on the day as CCU pitcher, Mariah Bledsoe, picked all five innings and held the Jackets to five hits on the day to go with three strikeouts. 

Kaitlin Farrar took the loss on the mound pitching for the Jackets.  She went four innings and was charged for seven earned runs on nine CCU hits with three walks. 

First basemen for CCU, Sarah Rasmussen, led the charge with a game-high three RBIs after going 2-of-3 from the plate that included a two-run homer in the bottom of the third. 

Shumpert finished 2-for-2 on the day offensively for the Jackets to keep her in the top 10 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference with a .438 batting average on the season. 

GAME 2 

Once again, the Jackets jumped out to an early lead in the first inning in the second game of the day.  With SS Ryan Cook reaching second after doubling, C Erica Everson hit a two-run homerun off CCU pitcher, Katie Edison, to take the early advantage. 

Edison settled down after the homerun to hold the Jackets the rest of the way to just two more hits the rest of the way.   The two other hits came from 1B Rebecca Green who went 2-for-2 on the day that included a double. 

CCU scored 12 runs on 13 hits as nine different players had hits on the day with DH Hannah Rapoport leading the way with 3 RBIs and two runs scored.  In total, seven CCU players produced an RBI. 

The losing pitcher was Stefanie Witman for the Jackets after pitching two innings and giving up three earned runs on four hits.  Savanah Eckhardt pitched the final two innings and was charged with seven earned runs on nine hits.
