Taylor, Mich.— The St. Clair County Community College softball team earned a road sweep on Friday afternoon, defeating Henry Ford College in a doubleheader at Heritage Park. The Skippers edged the Hawks 2–1 in the opener before pulling away for a 10–2 win in the nightcap.

SC4 used timely hitting and a strong pitching performance to secure a narrow victory in the first game of the doubleheader.

After both teams were held scoreless early, SC4 broke through in the third inning. Addyson Caten scored on a double from Makayla Hennessey after reaching base on an error in the previous at bat.

Lillian Osborne was dominant in the circle, going the distance and allowing just one run on three hits. Osborne struck out seven and faced only 25 batters to earn the complete-game victory.

Henry Ford College scored once in the bottom of the sixth inning, but the Skippers matched it with one of their own in the top of the seventh when Addyson Caten scored Annabelle Schneider on a ground ball to the pitcher.

Osborne shut the door in the seventh to secure a 2-1 Skippers victory!

The Skippers' offense started slow again in game 2 before coming alive late!

The Hawks jumped out to an early lead after they plated a run in the bottom of the first inning, but that would just about do it for their offense in game two.

The Skippers wouldn't score their first run until the top of the fourth inning, but they scored 10 in those final three innings. They used a 7 run fourth followed by one run in the fifth and two in the sixth to end the game in six inning.

Makayla Hennessey was 3-for-4 with 2 runs and 2 RBIs, Abriana Belanger and Jenna Maday both added in 2 hits, a run, and 2 RBIs.

In the circle, Lillian Peitz earned the win, allowing two runs while striking out two in six innings of work. The Skippers' defense limited Henry Ford to just six hits as SC4 closed out the run-rule victory.

These wins get the Skippers off to a 2-0 start in conference play.
