Cardinals swept again by Snow

EPHRAIM, Utah - Heather Bishop had three hits in the first game, but errors wound up costing the North Idaho College Cardinals as the Snow Badgers scored the go-ahead run on an error to win the first game 3-1 and completed the sweep with a 9-5 win in a Scenic West Athletic Conference softball doubleheader on Saturday.

After trailing 1-0 in the third, Snow scored the final three runs of the first game on a solo home run by Katie Greenburg and had the go-ahead run score on an error in the fifth inning.

In the second game, Sarah Basinger had four RBIs as the Badgers scored eight runs in the fifth inning. Nicole Atkinson hit a two-run home run in the seventh inning for NIC (17-30, 13-23 SWAC), which travels to Western Nevada next weekend.

Snow (24-10, 22-8), which took all four games from NIC this weekend, has now won 12 in a row.
