The Yetis opened the series with a gritty comeback victory, using a big third inning to shift momentum.
Zaley Packett delivered the biggest swing of the game, launching a three-run home run as part of a four-run inning. She finished with a game-high five RBIs, powering the Yetis offense.
Savannah Holleman and Ryley Wheeler added key hits, while Bailey Simpson crossed the plate three times to keep pressure on Pitt's defense.
In the circle, Brookelynn Farmer went 6.2 innings to earn the win, working through traffic late as Pitt rallied in the seventh. Sophia Neal came in to secure the final out and seal the 8-7 victory.
Game 2: CCC 7, Pitt CC 6
The Yetis completed the sweep behind a strong offensive showing, tallying 15 hits in a one-run win.
Sophia Neal led the charge with a standout performance, going 3-for-4 with three RBIs while also earning the complete-game win in the circle. Neal allowed just two earned runs across seven innings.
Peyton Whitson was nearly perfect at the plate, going 3-for-3 with two RBIs and a walk, while Sara Rose Warlick added two RBIs of her own.
Allison Setzer and Elizabeth Smith each scored twice as the Yetis used timely hitting to pull ahead and hold off Pitt late.
Game 1: Louisburg 10, CCC 3
On Sophomore Day, the Yetis faced a tough Louisburg squad that capitalized on late innings to pull away.
Cleveland stayed within striking distance early before a big seventh inning by Louisburg extended the lead.
Zaley Packett and Sara Rose Warlick each recorded extra-base hits, while Elizabeth Smith drove in a run. Charlsey Oglesby reached base multiple times, helping spark the Yetis' three-run sixth inning.
Game 2: Louisburg 2, CCC 0
The second game turned into a pitcher's duel, with Brookelynn Farmer delivering a strong outing in the circle.
Farmer allowed just two runs over seven innings, keeping the Yetis within reach throughout.
Offensively, the Yetis collected four hits, with Peyton Whitson, Zaley Packett, Charlsey Oglesby, and Bailey Simpson each recording one. However, Cleveland was unable to push a run across against Louisburg's pitching.
