REDMOND — After completing a brutal preseason schedule, Mountain View won its first two softball games of the season Wednesday, sweeping Ridgeview in an Intermountain Hybrid doubleheader.

The Cougars (2-10 overall) won a slugfest in the opener, topping the Ravens 10-8 in a game in which the two teams combined for 27 hits. Hannah Wicklund went three for five with one run batted in to lead Mountain View. Megan McCadden added a two-for-four performance that included a solo home run, and Quincy Mate and Jamie Withrow each knocked in a run. Wicklund pitched all seven innings, earning the win by striking out four while scattering 10 hits.

Mountain View won the late game 4-3, again behind Wicklund. The Cougar sophomore earned the victory in relief by pitching a scoreless sixth and seventh inning while also going four for four at the plate. McCadden added two hits and an RBI.

“We finally played a complete game,” Mountain View coach Catherine Lowery said. “(The wins) are so huge for the girls, hopefully it lights a fire beneath them.”

The Cougars and the Ravens (8-3 overall) conclude their three-game series Friday at Mountain View.
