Game One

Game Two (through three innings)

PORTLAND, Ore., - Bad weather continues to hinder the Lewis & Clark athletics programs, as the Pioneer softball team was forced to postpone game two of their home opening double-header against Corban College.  The game was called at the start of the fourth inning of action at the Houston Sports Complex on Wednesday afternoon. The two sides were able to squeeze in game one, with the Warriors collecting an 11-1 win, handing the Pios their first loss of the season.

Prior to the cancelation of game two the Pioneers were looking to pull themselves out of a 6-2 deficit. The Warriors put up four runs in the first inning of play, including two home runs. Caroline DeVinceni earned one run back for the Pioneers in the bottom of the inning after getting on base with a lead-off single. Laura Parker would drive DeVinceni home, while advancing Sarah Standish  to third. A Jessica Mullins double down the right field line would bring Standish across the plate for the second run.

Corban would pick up two more runs in the third inning to increase their lead to 6-2, which is where the score will stand until next week.

The first game would be all Warriors, with the team scoring in four of the seven innings played. The Pioneers would get one run across the plate in the fifth inning, with DeVinceni driving home Danielle Blechert on a double to left field. That would be all the offense the Pios would be able to muster up, as the Warriors cruised to an 11-1 win.

The Pioneers return to action this weekend, as they open conference play on Saturday, March 7 at Puget Sound, in a Northwest Conference double-header. The first pitch is set to be thrown at 12 p.m. in Tacoma, Wash.
