Cloud splits Saturday doubleheader at Fort Scott

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

FORT SCOTT, Kansas —  The Cloud County Community College softball team concluded its four-game road trip on Saturday, earning a doubleheader split against Fort Scott Community College.

Cloud County (13-13 overall, 6-6 KJCCC) rebounded from a tight 2-1 loss to the Greyhounds (13-20 overall, 3-9 KJCCC) in Game One with a 7-2 victory in Game Two.

The seven runs and 12 hits were a welcomed site for the T-Birds, who had been limited to two runs in their previous three games before breaking out of its slump in Saturday's finale.

Cloud County scored four runs in the top of the second inning to jump out in front on an RBI double from sophomore Samantha Shafer, a run scoring error, and a two-out, two-run single by sophomore Jaycee Worrell.

Freshman pitcher Jordan Ummel helped her own cause in the fifth as she crushed her second home run of the season to lead off the inning.

In the circle, Ummel picked up her seventh win after going all seven innings, allowing two runs, one earned, on seven hits. The right-hander walked two and struck out six.

The T-Birds added two more unearned insurance runs in the top of the seventh, and Ummel stranded the bases loaded in the home-half of the frame, to seal the 7-2 final.

Eight different Cloud County players recorded at least one hit in Game Two, led by freshman outfielder Autumn Adams, who went 3-for-4 as the designated hitter. Shafer and freshman outfielder Madison Wright each added two hits apiece, as well.

In Game One, Fort Scott loaded the bases in the bottom of the eighth on three straight singled, then pushed across the winning run on a sacrifice fly, spoiling what had been an excellent start for Cloud County pitcher, Bayleigh Cope.

Cope scattered 12 hits over 7 1/3 innings and struck out four in what was another tough-luck loss for the sophomore.

The T-Birds' lone run came in the top of the sixth inning on a one-out RBI double by sophomore Erin King that scored Ummel and tied the game at 1-1.

Cloud County will be back in action on Tuesday when it hosts Kansas City Kansas Community College. Game times are set for 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
