WC softball sweeps NCTC 

Weatherford College swept North Central Texas College in a softball doubleheader Saturday at Stuart Field, 11-3 and 9-1. 

Both games ended early—the bottom of the fifth inning in game one and the bottom of the sixth in game two—due to the run rule. 

WC scored six runs in the second inning of game one, including a grand slam by Lencia Powell. 

In game two, WC took the lead for good after a run scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the third. 

Charlee Horton hit a two-run blast in the bottom of the fifth, capping a four-run inning. WC added a three-run sixth inning as Anabelle Guay hit another homer. 

The Coyotes improved to 22-19 overall and 13-15 in conference play. 

The final four-game series of the year against Temple College begins Wednesday at WC. The doubleheader begins at 1 p.m. 

WC will host the Region V-North Softball Championship on May 5-8 at Stuart Field.
