The Knoxville Softball Squad swept Washington in a non-conference doubleheader on Tuesday 4-1 in game one and 16-3 in game two. Ciara Heffron earned the win in game one going the distance scattering five hits, striking out five and walking six while Ashlyn Finarty got the win in game two going 5 1/3 innings allowing just two hits, striking out six and walking just one. Olivia Maasdam was 2/3 in game one with two RBI while Emma Dunkin hit her first home run of the season in game two going 2/3 with two RBI, Heffron was 3/5 with three RBI, and not to be outdone Brittany Bacorn went 3/4 with four RBI. Coach Carla Smith tells KNIA/KRLS Sports the middle of her line up is already good, but she is still looking for girls to step up at the plate to be a well rounded offensive team

Smith:
“I’ve seen some pretty big strides from kids this offseason because they knew those were their weak points. We’re going to be strong in our 3, 4, 5 in the line up but I’m looking for kids willing to improve their hitting in other parts of the line up.”

Knoxville is now 6-2 on
