The Xavier softball team cruised to a pair of victories over Dubuque  Wahlert in the Mississippi Valley Conference Thursday night.

The Saints won the first game, 10-0, in six innings. They captured the  second game, 12-0, in three innings.

The games were played at the Jefferson High School diamond due to  drainage issues at the Xavier field.

Maria Steffen pitched a three-hitter with nine strikeouts for Xavier  in the first game. Charlotte Richards was 3-for-3 with two RBIs.

Ellie Malecek tossed a two-hitter with five strikeouts in the second  game. Hannah Williams went 2-for-2 with a double, home run and three  RBIs.

Charli Patten and Keera Ball were also 2-for-2 in the second game.  Ball had two RBIs.

Xavier (3-1) is ranked No. 13 in Class 4A.

Xavier's games against Iowa City Regina Friday were rained out.
