The Pacific softball team swept a doubleheader from Pacific Lutheran on Sunday, winning game one, 5-4 and the nightcap, 15-3.
 
The Boxers (11-3, 5-1 NWC) came back from a 4-3 deficit to score twice in the top of the seventh to take game one by a 5-4 margin.
 
In game one, four-different Boxers had a hit including Haley Kodama [pictured] (Pearl City, Hawaii), who had two of the five hits for Pacific. Hailey Miller (Elk Grove, Calif.), who reached base in three of her four plate appearances, had three RBI to go along with a double and two walks in the win.
 
Ashley Martin (Sutherlin, Ore.) pitched the final three innings, allowing just two hits and unearned run in a winning effort to improve to 3-0.
 
After back-to-back errors by the Lutes to begin the inning put runners on second and third for Hailey Miller, who picked up her third RBI on the day with a ground out. Then, Tricia Snydar (Lynden, Wash.) drove in the winning run on another RBI ground out.
 
In game two, Jill Uyeda (Greshma, Ore.) had four hits, Katelyn Macatis-Smith (Salem, Ore.) and Miller each had three and Kodama had two as Pacific posted a 15-3 win in six innings. Macatis-Smith had three RBI, Miller and Kodama each had two RBI in the win.
 
Pacific scored three times – two of which came on a two-RBI single by Kodama – in the first for an early lead. Then, the Boxers sent 10 batters to the plate in both the fifth and sixth innings, scoring six runs in each inning for the run-rule victory.
 
In the fifth, it was a two-RBI single by Macatis-Smith and in the sixth, it was a two-RBI double by Miller – her second of the day – that sparked a Pacific offense that had 17 hits for its biggest production since a 19-hit game against Willamette in the season finale, last year.

The offensive fireworks were ample support for Martin, who pitched a complete game, allowing eight hits and three runs for her second win on the day to improve to 4-0.
 
Pacific will next return home to Sherman/Larkins Stadium after playing its last 12 games away from home. The Boxers will host George Fox in a four-game series, beginning on Saturday, March 17 at noon with a doubleheader.
