Serving Whitman County since 1877
The Colton softball team picked up two wins this week over Waitsburg and will cross their fingers that a rescheduled game from Tuesday's cancellation will be played Thursday.
At Waitsburg last Saturday, the Wildcats won 16-9 and 20-0.
In the first game, Colton put together seven hits as Kendyl Druffel went 2-for-2 and Taylor Thomas, a freshman leftfielder, went 2-for-5 and Emily Schultheis 1-for-3.
On the mound, Emma Schultheis pitched all seven innings to allow nine hits with no walks and five strikeouts.
In game two, the Wildcats delivered 10 hits, led by Maggie Pluid's 2-for-3 performance. Jordyn Moehrle went 2-for-5 while Druffel was 1-for-3. Daylinn Smith and Thomas both went 1-for-2.
“We had a lot of errors in the first game,” said Colton coach Brad Nilson of the Wildcats' four. “We start making errors and they start hitting the ball.”
Colton (8-2) is now set to play next at home against Asotin Thursday at 3:30 p.m.
