LUBBOCK, Texas (March 21, 2017) – Katlyn Holmes' no-hitter in game two capped the Lubbock Christian University Chaparrals doubleheader sweep of Eastern New Mexico 3-2 and 8-0 Tuesday evening at PlainsCapital Park on the LCU campus.
 
TWO
The Lady Chaps (19-10) got on the scoreboard first when Katera Eltsosie led off the second inning with a home run into the teeth of the wind over the left field fence. Later in the same inning Roxy Curiel would drive in Sydney Beuthien to put LCU up 2-0. The Greyhounds (13-24) would answer with two runs of their own in the fifth inning to tie up the contest.
 
FREE SOFTBALL
At the end of regulation the two teams were still knotted at two apiece giving the fans more softball. In the bottom of the eighth inning Courtney Medina led off by drawing a walk then stole second base on the next pitch. Two outs later Eltsosie hammered a shot down the right field line to bring Medina home from second for the walk-off win.
 
CIRCLE TIME
Eltsosie (9-4) got the start in the circle for LCU and went the distance allowing only two runs on four hits with two strike outs on her way to her ninth victory of the season. Kaylee Rogers (9-12) started for the Greyhounds and also threw the complete game giving up three runs on five hits and walking six to suffer her 12^th loss this year.
 
EIGHT
In game two eight Lady Chaps would get a hit. LCU jumped on the board first with a run in the first when Eltsosie hit a ball to deep left field to plate Casey Ingram giving the Lady Chaps the early 1-0 lead.
 
DOUBLE
LCU would add six more runs in the third inning with the first run of the inning coming off a bases-loaded walk to Alyssa Hanks to bring home Averi Miller. Beuthien followed with a sacrifice fly to right field to score Medina before Lindzi Clemmer doubled driving in Ingram. Addison Ard came up next and doubled to score Hanks and Clemmer. Sara Ralston immediately followed with a double of her own to bring in Ard and put LCU on top 7-0. Beuthien would drive in Adelae Vayas in the fourth inning to complete the scoring for the Lady Chaps and put them up 8-0.
 
NO-NO
Katlyn Holmes (3-0) threw the complete game no-hitter for LCU in the second game for her second no-hitter in a Lady Chap uniform to earn her third victory of the season. Kiana Zerr (2-9) lasted 3.2 innings for ENMU allowing eight runs on eight hits walking three for her ninth loss before Katie Ripple came in to get the final out.

Without this 9-3 put-out by @SydneyBeuthien (two outs before the end of the game), Katlyn Holmes would not have had a no-hitter. #NCAATop10 pic.twitter.com/e93cg7P5vW
