SALEM, Ore. - After a one day postponement, the No. 23-ranked Corban University softball team faced Carroll College (Mont.) in a Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) tripleheader on Saturday. The Navy and Gold came away with a sweep of the day, triumphing in walk-off fashion in two of the three contests.

In the first game, the Saints tallied the contest's first when Haley Kampka, drilled a solo home-run in the top of the fourth.

The Warriors battled back in the bottom half, as they tallied three runs in their own fourth inning rally. Corban caught a break, as the Carroll left fielder committed an error on a fly ball hit by Sophia Barbosa, allowing Taylor Beasley to come around from second base to score. Following the miscue, Megan Rybar stepped to the plate and deposited a two-run round-tripper over the outfield fence to put the Warriors ahead 3-1 after four full.

The Navy and Gold were just three outs away from a victory, when the Saints finally struck for additional runs. Carroll was able to scratch across three more runs in the top half of the seventh frame. An RBI double, a sacrifice fly, and an RBI single, put them in front 4-3, allowing the Saints to head to the bottom of the inning with a chance to win the game.

However, the Warriors had other plans, as third-baseman Kaycee Arase came up with a huge at-bat in the final stanza. She poked a base hit up the middle, which drove in both Makiah Johnson and Kaylee Buhrkuhl to win the game for Corban in walk-off fashion.

The second game of the tripleheader bounced mostly Corban's way, but the Navy and Gold began the game behind, as Carroll scored in the top of the second on an RBI single up the middle.

The Warriors scored the next two runs of the contest in the bottom of the second. Johnson tallied an RBI single and Buhrkuhl reached on a fielding error, which allowed Meri McElligott to cross the plate.

Corban struck again in the fourth, as Madison Wyllie blasted a solo homer into the overcast sky over Warrior Field. The bomb put the Warriors up 3-1.

Carroll would put a run on the board on a wild pitch in the fifth inning, which cut the Corban lead to just one run entering the last two-and-a-half innings of play.

Ivey Uppinghouse added an RBI single for the Navy and Gold in the fifth that improved the Warriors' lead to 5-2 after an error was committed on the play by the Carroll catcher, allowing both Beasley and Buhrkuhl to score.

Carroll would score just one more run in the contest, as a solo homerun in the sixth by Kaitlynn Ayers would end their scoring for the game.

The Warriors added massive run support in the final offensive frame, scoring four runs in the sixth inning, on a two-run dinger by Johnson and a two-run double by Arase. The game would end 9-3 in favor of Corban.

Game three began looking as if the Warriors would coast to a sweep of the opening CCC series, as the Navy and Gold surged ahead 3-0 through the first two innings on the strength of a wild pitch and two impressive team at-bats to create an early advantage. Beasley had a sacrifice fly in the first, and Johnson had a RBI groundout to second in the second inning.

The Warriors, however, surrendered the next seven runs of the contest. Amber Brewer was responsible for a three-run laser over the outfield wall, after the Saints had already scored three runs in the inning on an RBI walk and a two-run single.

With what looked like an insurmountable lead built up by Carroll, Corban did not quit, as they tacked on a run in the fifth and a run in the sixth on an RBI single by Uppinghouse and a wild pitch. The Navy and Gold were not done though, as they still trailed by two runs entering the bottom of the seventh stanza. Madison Wyllie stepped to the plate—after Tatiana Liu had driven a run-scoring single to left-center field—and torched a two-run walk-off double to right-center field, which pushed across both Tabby Humphrey and California Johnson. The second walk-off win of the day sealed the sweep for Corban.

The Warriors (8-6, 3-0 CCC) will enter the second conference weekend of the season next week, as they will host the Knights of Warner Pacific (Ore.) on March 12-13 hoping to improve upon their undefeated CCC record.
