Pirate's softball took a couple home Region 16 wins on Tuesday over State Fair CC to improve to 11-17 on the year and 6-4 in region play.  They will next look to keep up the momentum in region play when they travel to Jefferson College on Friday for a doubleheader.  First pitch in Hillsboro, MO is set for 1pm.

In the opener with the Roadrunners, Brookelynn Becker was a force at the plate.  She went 3-3 with a pair of doubles plus scored two runs.  Myla Laws went 1-2 with her own pair of runs scored.  Ireland Bloss drove in two while going 1-4.  In the pitcher's circle, Cassi Rodgers scattered 7 hits in 5 innings, surrendering 5 runs with only 2 being earned.  Briley Bouma tossed the final two frames while allowing just 1 run on 3 hits.

Game two saw NCMC's power bats come alive.  Addison Huber knocked a grand slam, her lone hit of the game but it was a big one.  Bloss also homered and drove in 3 runs for the Pirates.  As a team, NCMC had 12 runs on 8 hits.  Emma Lisenbee got the start in the game but allowed 5 runs in 4.1 innings.  Picking up the win in relief was Bouma who did not allow a run in 2.2 innings.  She struck out 3 Roadrunner batters.
