The Simpson softball team ran their winning streak up to 18 games with a doubleheader shutout sweep over Nebraska Wesleyan Tuesday 8-0 and 9-0, while the baseball team also earned a sweep with wins on the road 7-3 and 6-5.

The Storm softball team got a home run from freshman Katie Shaner as she smacked a three-run home run in the bottom of the second, and got another home run from Alexis Ehlers as they scored early and often. Madi Peterson got the win in the circle. In game two, Ehlers and Maddie Luderman smacked RBI doubles to give Simpson a 3-0 lead they wouldn’t look back from. Taryan Barrick-Wessels got the win in the circle in dominant fashion. With her five RBI’s on the day, Luderman became the all-time leader in program history. The Storm are now 23-5 on the season and 6-0 in conference play, and have a crucial doubleheader on the road at Loras today.

The Storm were up 7-0 in the first contest highlighted by a Joel Sampson two-RBI double and an Ian Baldwin RBI triple. Easton Dunwoody got the win on the mound. The Storm had to mount a comeback after trailing 3-0 after the top of the second inning, however a Nate Cagley two-run homerun and a Dalton Ferrin RBI single tied the score. The Storm fell behind 5-4 late, but a Will Carlock sacrifice fly tied the score, and they got the game winning hit in the eighth from Tyson McAlexander. The Storm are now 11-16 overall and 4-8 in conference play, and they host Loras for a three-game series beginning Friday.
