Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 | Box Score 3 | Box Score 4 EPHRAIM, Utah (March 30, 2019)  ̶  The Snow College women's softball team completed a four-game sweep of Colorado Northwestern. Through intermittent snow flurries, the Badgers took both ends of Friday's doubleheader, 15-1 and 9-6, and run-ruled the Spartans in both games on Saturday in sunny, but cold, weather, 11-3 and 19-3. Snow takes a solid hold on third place in the Scenic West Athletic Conference with the sweep, upping their conference record to 9-6.

Freshman Kadi Bateman tormented Spartan pitchers in the series, pounding out eight hits in 11 at-bats, including three long homeruns, a triple and a double as she drove in nine runs and scored five times herself. Bateman sparked an 11-run Badger rally in the second inning of Saturday's finale, leading off the inning for the Badgers with a towering homer to right, and then later in the inning lining a three-run homer over the centerfield fence.
Sophomore first baseman Avery Shields homered to center following Bateman's first homerun in the second, her second round-tripper of the day. Sophomore outfielder McKenna Rowell had the big hit in the Badger's eight-run first inning rally with a three-run dinger to left field. Rowell also had a pinch hit double to drive in a run in the Badgers' opening game win on Friday.

Freshman Madi Rouska also pounded a three-run homer of her own in Friday's opener, scored three times and stole a pair of bases. Ngaira Moeai led CNCC offensively with three hits in the series, including a two-run homerun in the second game.

Freshman hurler Alexis Poulsen had another great showing for the Badgers as she earned the win in the first three games of the series to run her season record to 8-2. Poulsen went the distance in each day's opener, and picked up the win in Friday's second game relieving sophomore Sadie Clark after the fifth inning with the score tied at five. Snow scored four times in the bottom of the sixth to take the lead, sparked by Bateman's triple to right field, and then hung on for the 9-6 win.

Poulsen gave up a combined five runs in the three games in which she appeared, but none of the runs were earned. She struck out eight and walked only four in 12 innings of work. Freshman Cayla Giles went the distance in Saturday's finale to even her season record at 4-4. Giles scattered five hits while walking just two and striking out five.

With a record of 9-6, Snow sits in third place in the SWAC behind Salt Lake (16-4) and Southern Idaho (14-6). The Badgers are three-and-a-half games ahead of fourth place 6-10 Southern Nevada, with USU-Eastern at 4-11 and CNCC at 2-14. Snow hosts USU-Eastern this coming weekend with doubleheaders beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Friday and at noon on Saturday. Admission is free at Badger Field inside Ephraim City Park.
