After falling twice to Centralia on Saturday the Lower Columbia softball team responded three days later with a home sweep of long-time NWAC South rival Clackamas, 5-3 and 7-5 on Tuesday March 26.
 
The Devils were locked in a 0-0 tie with the Cougars after three innings in the opener. Clackamas got on the board first and then LCC took a 3-1 in the bottom half of the 4th, which it would not give up.  Lauren Lunt hit an RBI double to highlight the inning.
 
The Devils then got RBI doubles from Skylar Hunter and Saydie Harris in the 5^th to provide the insurance they would need.
 
Trinity Naugle went the distance to get the victory as she gave up just five hits. The Cougars Kat Hylton hit a homer in the 6^th, but Naugle settled down and completed the victory.  Naugle is now 7-2 on the season.
 
Kami Gray had two doubles and Harris was 2 for 3.  Ellie Conley also doubled for LCC, one of six two-baggers for LCC.
 
The Devils jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the second game. Sarah Potwin hit a two-run homer in the first to kick-start the offense.
 
Sophia Parsons had the big hit in the game as she slugged a grand slam homer in the third inning.
 
Clackamas mounted a comeback against Devil starter Nizhoni Wheeler.  Hylton hit a bases loaded double as Clackamas scored four in the 5^th.  But Wheeler buckled down and blanked the Cougars in the final two innings.  The game ended on a nice running catch by LCC second baseman Valeti Fifita.
 
Potwin's RBI single in the 5^th also provided some insurance.
 
Parsons drove in four with the grand slam.  Potwin was 2 for 3 with three RBI.  Hunter also went 2 for 4 in the nightcap.
 
The Devils go to 4-2 in league with the sweep.  LCC will travel to Gresham, Oregon to play the Mt. Hood Saints on Friday March 29.  The twin bill begins at 3 pm.  LCC will be back home on Saturday March 30 when it hosts Clark for two games beginning at 12 pm.
