Milwuakie, Ore. | With two dominant performances on Monday night, the Warner Pacific Softball team moves to 7-2, placing them second in the Cascade Collegiate Conference heading into the first week of conference play.
 
The Knights put the hammer down on NCAA Division III Willamette in game one, scoring nine runs in just the first inning.  Going through the entire lineup in the same inning, Makenzie Kimura and Katie Gleasman both managed to get two hits and two RBI's in that same inning.
 
From that point on, it was simply just a matter of getting to the fifth inning. The Knights managed to score one more run in the second, and another in the third; a homer from Devinne Amesquita. Warner Pac finished the game with 16 hits and 0 errors, hitting for .500.
 
In game two of the double header, the Knights' offense seemed to cool off a bit. The teams went three innings without a run before Amesquita stepped to the plate. The Junior sent one over the fence at left center for her second homer of the night.
 
The very next inning, Makenzie Kimura, who had a great first game, singled up the middle for yet another RBI brining Sarah Stanfill home. The next up to bat, none other than Devinne Amesquita who once again, sent one beyond the boundaries, this time brining Kimura in with her. The Knights closed out the night cap with a 4-0 victory over the Bearcats.
 
Heading into the opening weekend of conference play, the Knights are hitting .292, with a .363 slugging percentage.
 
Devinne Amesquita, who hit three Home Runs tonight, leads the Knights with a 1.000 slugging percentage and a .348 batting average and Makenzie Kimura is batting a .407.
