Kansas City Kansas Community College’s nationally ranked softball team enjoyed a walk-off win so much in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday, the Blue Devils did it again.
Piper’s Alexis Rymer’s single in the bottom of the seventh gave the Blue Devils a 5-4 opening win over Neosho County Saturday; Alaina Howe drove in the tying and Savannah Maynard the winner as KCKCC rallied in the eighth inning for an 8-7 nightcap win.
The sweep came on the heels of 12-2 and 17-0 wins at Cloud County Thursday and propelled the 13th ranked Blue Devils into striking range of first and second place in the Jayhawk Conference DII Division A. Labette (15-3) leads followed closely by Johnson County (15-5) and KCKCC (16-6).

Kansas City Kansas Community College celebrated its newly earned 19th ranking in the NJCAA Division II softball poll with a sweep of North Dakota State College of Science Monday.
Breanna Droge scattered four hits in an 11-4 opening win; Bradi Basler gave up just a pair of hits in a 9-0 5-inning nightcap.
The wins extended the Blue Devils’ winning streak to eight in a row (12-2 overall) heading into their Jayhawk Conference opener at Labette Saturday before returning home to play host to Morningside junior varsity Sunday at 1 and 3 p.m.
“Both our pitchers pitched great,” said KCKCC coach Lana Ross, who was particularly pleased by the control of the two starters – just one walk allowed in the two contests. “North Dakota took some good swings so give credit to tour pitchers.”
