Alyssa Olson tossed a two-hitter and Kaitlyn Davidson drove in two runs as No.9 Jefferson trimmed Dubuque Hempstead, 3-1, in the first game of a Mississippi Valley Conference doubleheader at Larry Niemeyer Field Tuesday.
Hempstead took the nightcap, 4-3.
Olson struck out eight batters in the opener and raised her record to 14-1.
Erin Kuba hit a two-run homer in the second game for Jefferson (23-7, 15-5). Dani Stromert and Maddie Hansen had two hits.
CEDAR FALLS - Cedar Rapids Jefferson graduate Rachel Broghammer, a two-time state champion with the J-Hawks, plans to join the University of Northern Iowa track team.
Broghammer ran the anchor leg when Jefferson won the Class 4A state title in the 4x200 relay this year, snapping a state record that had stood since 1975. She also helped the J-Hawks win the 4x200 relay as a sophomore in 2011.
Broghammer helped the J-Hawks finish second in the 4x100 relay, third in the sprint medley relay and fourth in the 4x400 relay at the state meet this year. Jefferson placed fifth in the team standings, its highest finish in more than 10 years.
Alyssa Olson pitched a one-hitter with 13 strikeouts Saturday as Class 5A No.9 Jefferson blanked Sioux City Heelan, 7-0, in the Jefferson Classic.
Dani Stromert went 2-for-3 for the J-Hawks (22-6). Hannah Towns was 2-for-2 with an RBI.
It was Jefferson's only game Saturday.
IOWA CITY - Reid Bonner's grand slam capped a seven-run fifth inning in the opener and Colin Baker's two-run homer put Iowa City West ahead to stay in the nightcap and the Trojans swept a Mississippi Valley Conference baseball doubleheader from Jefferson, 11-0 and 6-3, Friday at West.
The games were scheduled to be played at Jefferson, but were switched to West because Friday morning's downpour in Cedar Rapids made the J-Hawk diamond unplayable. Jefferson was the home team in both games.
West (19-3, 13-2 MVC) is ranked second in Class 4A. The twin wins ran the Trojans' winning streak to nine games. They have won 14 of their last 15 games.
Jefferson (6-17, 4-12) outhit West in the nightcap, 7-6. Spencer VanScoyoc had two hits in the nightcap and three in the twinbill. He had two doubles.
DUBUQUE - Alyssa Olson struck out 16 batters Thursday as Cedar Rapids Jefferson topped Dubuque Wahlert, 10-2, in the first game of a Mississippi Valley Conference doubleheader in Dubuque.
The ninth-ranked J-Hawks (21-6, 14-4) finished the sweep with a 10-0 victory in six innings in the nightcap.
Maddie Hansen belted two home runs and drove in five runs for Jefferson in the first game. Hannah Towns hit a home run and drove in four runs.
SOLON - Spencer Hunt staked Jefferson to a 2-0 lead with a two-run double in the first inning and the J-Hawks went on to beat the Spartans, 6-2, Wednesday in a non-conference baseball game.
Jefferson (6-15) won for only the second time in its last nine games.
The J-Hawks rapped out 14 hits. Spencer VanScoyoc was 3-for-4, including an RBI double in the fourth inning. Hunt, Marcus Colbert and Layne Sullivan had two hits apiece.
Sullivan was the fourth pitcher for the J-Hawks and worked the final three innings,
WATERLOO - Alyssa Olson ran her pitching record to 11-1 backed by Tori Brandon's two hits and three RBIs that led Jefferson to a 14-1 win over Waterloo East and a split of their Mississippi Valley Conference softball doubleheader Tuesday at Waterloo.
East won the opener, 3-2, scoring the winning run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Maddie Blietz had an RBI single to tie the game in the top of the seventh.
Jefferson is 19-6 overall, 12-4 in the MVC. East is 10-13, 4-10.
DUBUQUE - Jefferson's Spencer VanScoyoc had four hits, but the J-Hawks lost a pair of games to Dubuque Senior, 3-1 and 3-2, Monday in Mississippi Valley Conference baseball.
VanScoyoc, Ben Koering and Drew Johnson had two hits apiece for the J-Hawks (5-15, 4-10) in the opener.
Koering scattered five hits and went the distance on the mound.
His ballclub is battling for a division title in the Mississippi Valley Conference, but Dubuque Hempstead Coach Jeff Rapp complains about inconsistency.
“We’re like a Jekyll and Hyde team,” he said after the Mustangs (9-8, 8-4 MVC) split a doubleheader at Cedar Rapids Jefferson Friday night. “We’ve had some very good games. But we’ve also been ugly at times.”
He’s got nothing on first-year Jefferson Coach Kyle Rodenkirk. His young J-Hawks (5-13, 4-8) were embarrassed on their home field Wednesday night by Prairie, losing the opener 15-1 and the nightcap 7-4.
So what do they do but jump on Hempstead for three runs in the first inning of the first game Friday and cruise to a 6-2 win behind the solid pitching of sophomore Lucas Larson.
Alyssa Olson continued her dominating pitching, firing a one-hit shutout with 10 strikeouts to lead No.9 Jefferson to an 11-0 win over Linn-Mar and a sweep of their softball doubleheader Thursday at Larry Niemeyer Field.
Jefferson (18-5, 11-3) won the opener, 4-3.
Olson fired a two-hit, 12-strikeout shutout on Tuesday against then-No.4 Dubuque Senior. She fired a three-inning no-hitter Wednesday night against Waterloo West.
Jefferson banged out 10 hits in five innings to back Olson. Hannah Towns and Katelyn Holub had two hits apiece.
