Last weekend on Saturday, Feb. 8, the Wolves’ softball team held two games against Eastern Oregon University Mountaineers. 

The Wolves were able to hold the Mountees still, and take home a win during both matches. Due to the excellent pitching by sophomore Maddie Mayer and senior Chandler Bishop, the Wolves contained the Mountees and only allowed one run and several hits. 

Wolves showed for an entertaining game, hitting two home runs by two juniors, Tyler Creach and Sydney Bowers. Western was hitting so well that they outhit Eatern almost 7-1; hopefully this preview is a good teller for the upcoming season.

Each inning the Mountees trailed far behind the Wolves, barely able to find a way to score or even get a run in. 

The Wolves took both wins, 9-0 and 5-1. Softball hits the road for their next game on Friday, Feb. 14 to play against Texas A&M – Kingsville.
