02 Apr 2025 CBC sweeps UHSP to stay perfect in conference play and at home
CONWAY — Looking to stay perfect in both American Midwest Conference play and at home this season, Central Baptist College softball hosted the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis in a doubleheader recently at City of Colleges Park. CBC (17-15, 6-0 AMC) fought through an hour weather delay in game one to down UHSP (7-15, 2-6 AMC) 7-1 and 11-0 in five innings.
GAME ONE – CBC 7, UHSP 1
The Eutectics opened the scoring in the first to take a 1-0 lead after a half inning. The Mustangs tied the game at one in the bottom half on a wild pitch and an error. In the third inning, Elizabeth Stoufer gave CBC the lead with a single that chased home Madalyn Tubbs making it 2-1 in favor of the Mustangs. Following the hour long weather delay, CBC pushed home three in the fifth thanks to a two-run single by Anna Marie Sternisha and a single by Abi West to extend the lead to 5-1. The final two runs came home in the sixth on back-to-back sacrifice flies by Tubbs and Stoufer. Alex Jeter earned her ninth win of the season by throwing a complete game, allowing six hits and one unearned run with four strikeouts.
GAME TWO – CBC 11, UHSP 0 (FIVE INNINGS)
CBC jumped on UHSP early in game two, plating seven runs in the first inning to lead 7-0 after one. Taviah Bradley scored the first run of the game after a fielding mistake and Kori Truelove made it 2-0 with a single. Kinley Johnson’s ninth home run of the season, a two-run blast, made it 4-0 followed by RBI singles from West, Taylyn Shuffield and Tubbs. Johnson’s second two-run home run of the day and 10th of the season in the second inning made it 9-0 before a sac fly by Shuffield made it 10-0. The final run came home on a sac fly by starting pitcher Ryleigh Keele in the third. Keele threw a complete game six-hit shutout, the first of her career, striking out two.
