The Norwalk softball team swept a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader at Pella Wednesday night, winning by scores of 6-0 in game one and 10-2 in the night cap, which was broadcast by KNIA3.

Game one was a scoreless pitchers’ duel between Norwalk’s Zadie Wadle and Pella’s Ella Corbin until the Warriors broke through with five runs in the top of the sixth. Lauren Black produced an RBI double during the outburst, Wadle hit a sacrifice fly and two Pella errors also contributed to the Warrior cause.

Wadle pitched five and ⅔ innings for the win and Olivia Daugherty completed the shutout by recording the final four outs.

Game two was all Norwalk as the Warriors took advantage of 14 walks and three Dutch errors to gradually pull away. Leadoff batter Jaylynn Brandt drew five of the free passes and scored three times for Norwalk. Wadle had three RBI, including a two-run single in the sixth, Kaylee Cary tripled home a run in the third and Taylor Condon added a double.

Sophomore Addi Downe pitched four innings for the win, allowing four hits and one run. Daugherty worked the last three innings for her second save of the year, striking out the side in both the fifth and sixth frames.

Pella, which outhit the Warriors 6-4, got two doubles from leadoff batter Ava Curry and another two-bagger by Kylie Tauke. Eighth-grade pitcher Kamryn Long took the loss.

Norwalk, now 3-1 overall and 3-0 against the Little Hawkeye, will play at Southeast Polk Thursday night before hosting Oskaloosa on Friday in another game that can be heard on KNIA3.

Pella dropped to 4-3 overall and 0-2 in the Little Hawkeye. The Dutch will return to action Friday night, hosting Newton.
