The Temple College softball team hosted Weatherford College in North Texas Junior College Athletic Conference in doubleheader action on Saturday at the Danny Scott Sports Complex.
No. 4 Leopards continued their dominance in the series, as Temple pitchers combined to allow just three hits in 12 innings and received 12 runs of support as Temple swept Weatherford.
Scores of the doubleheader were 8-0 (five innings) and 4-1.
The win extended Temple's win streak to seven games, having won 17 of their last 18, and 34 of their last 36.
Izzy Garcia's two-run double put the Leopards on the scoreboard in the boom of the first.
The Leopards scored three times in the third. Kaiyah Ratu's single moved Reese Cottrell's courtesy runner Maycee Griffin to third. An errant throw to first scored Griffin and Garcia's sacrifice fly scored Ratu to give Temple a 3-0 lead.
Temple's big inning in the game in the bottom of the fourth. Cottrell's double plated Jasmine Benavidez, Garcia's single scored Cottrell, Ryley Litchfield's single scored Ratu, and KyLeigh Cambiano's single scored courtesy runner Jess Reyes increase Temple's lead to 8-0.
Rian Coon's leadoff single in the top of the second was the lone hit for Weatherford.
Garcia went 2-of-2 with four RBI, Cottrell went 2-of-2 with an RBI, and Ratu went 3-of-3 with three runs scored.
Garcia got credit for the win in the circle, having hurled five innings, allowed one hit, four walks, and struck out seven.
Cottrell's single in the bottom of the first scored Lexi Dudeczka to give Temple quick 1-0 lead in game two.
Cambiano's sacrifice fly in the second scored Griffin and Marli Kennedy's single scored Litchfield and advanced to second. Kennedy stole third base and sprinted home on the errant pickoff throw to third as Temple extended the advantage to 4-1.
Weatherford's lone run of the day came on Jackie Divine's RBI double in the top of the fifth.
Kat Kram was efficient in her seven-inning victory in the circle. She gave up a run on two hits, walked three, hit a batter, and struck out ten.
Dudeczka had two of seven Temple hits.
With McLennan having swept Cisco, the Leopards maintain a two-game lead with four games to play in the conference season.
