The Crowder College softball team exploded for a combined 33 runs in 11-2 and 22-5 wins over Missouri State-West Plains in a doubleheader Thursday at Keller Park in Mountain Home, Arkansas.
The pair of wins extended Crowder's winning streak to 11 games.
Game 1
Crowder (38-8, 20-2) broke out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the third inning of Game 1 and added another score in the top of the fourth.
The Roughriders scored seven runs in the top of the fifth to take an 11-0 lead. Crowder gave up two runs in the bottom of the frame, but the defense held as the Roughriders went on for the 11-2 run-rule win.
Three Crowder batters recorded multiple hits. Riley Kaler was 2 for 3 with three runs, Alaura Padgett finished 2 for 3 with a run, and Jasmine Myers went 2 for 4 with an RBI. Kirsten Kay was 1 for 2 with two runs and two RBIs. Miya Curry and Kaler both stole two bases.
Starter Aubree Saporito gave up two runs on three hits while striking out four and walking two in five innings.

Crowder jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the fourth and added four more runs in the top of the second. The Roughriders gave up a run in the bottom of the second but exploded for nine runs in the top of the fourth to take a 17-1 lead.
