by Alan Hoskins, KCKCC 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.”
