Colorado College Athletics

The Colorado College offense struggled against Hendrix College, dropping both ends of a doubleheader by the scores of 6-2 and 3-2. 

In the first game, CC trailed 3-2 after one inning despite not getting a hit. The Tigers took advantage of two walks, one hit batter, and three wild pitches by Hendrix pitcher Sarah Hightower. The freshman settled down after that, allowing the Tigers just four hits and two walks the rest of the way. 

Despite squandering several scoring chances, CC's deficit was only 4-2 after five innings. But the Warriors added two insurance runs in the sixth to put the game away.

Freshman Sandy Corliss reached base three times without a hit for the Tigers, with two walks and a hit-by-pitch, and she and Alexa Calderon scored the CC runs. 

In the second game, junior Sirina Milsap struck out eight Warriors and gave up just two earned runs, but a three-run third inning was enough for Hendrix to hold on for the win. 

The Tigers got two runs back with two outs in the fourth, as Milsap doubled home a run, and then was brought home herself on a single by senior Sara Robinson. 

Milsap finished with two doubles for CC, while senior Carmen Robinson also had two hits. 

Hendrix improved to 9-19, 5-5 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. CC (5-28, 2-10) will travel to Rhodes College on April 19-20 for a pair of conference doubleheaders.
