Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 CHADRON – A pair of walk off home runs lifted the Chadron State College softball team to a series sweep of New Mexico Highlands Saturday afternoon at the CSC Softball Field.
 
Taylor Bauer thumped a solo shot in the bottom of the fifth to lift the Eagles to an 8-0 win and Shea Graham ripped a 2-run shot over the center field fence to give Chadron State a 4-2 win in the day's finale.
 
With the wins, Chadron State improves to 20-18 overall and 17-9 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The Eagles, who also swept the Cowgirls Friday afternoon, have now won five straight games and reached the 20-win plateau for the fifth time since the program was revived in 2007.
 
The Eagles received solid pitching in Friday's doubleheader sweep – Kylee Polsley and Aryn Grywusiewicz combined to allow just six hits and one run – but they're bats did the talking during Saturday's double dip.
 
Katie Londo went 3-for-3 and drove in five runs in the opening game. She hit a 2-run home run in the first inning and followed with a 3-run blast in the second. Sarah Knudsen also added a solo home run to lead off the first inning and Bauer's solo shot in the fifth inning ended the game due to the 8-run mercy rule.
 
For the game, Chadron State had 11 hits, while Polsley limited the Cowgirls to two. Polsley also struck out seven and walked one to improve her season record to 11-6.
 
Also for CSC, Casey Polk went 2-for-3 and drove in a run.  
 
Things were a bit tighter in the second game. The Eagles took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Courtney Lecher scored after hitting a triple but the Cowgirls answered with two runs in the top of the third to own a 2-1 advantage.
 
The Eagles, behind the solid pitching of Grywusiewicz, kept the contest close, and tied it up when Londo belted a solo home run – her third of the day and 14^th of the season – in the bottom of the sixth.
 
Highlands (11-29, 7-22 RMAC) failed to score in the top of the seventh and with one out and a full count, Graham hit the game-winning 2-run home run to left center field.
 
Four of the Eagles' five hits went for extra bases in the win.
 
Grywusiewicz improved to 7-8 this season with another solid complete game effort. She struck out six and scattered seven hits.
