NWAC Softball / Championship Preview

After winning last year's softball conference title with a 48-0 record, the top-ranked Lower Columbia College Red Devils extended their winning streak into this season by winning the first four games.

That winning skein ended after falling to Everett 4-3. Undaunted, the Red Devils won their next 38 contests before dropping a doubleheader at Mount Hood on May 5.

LCC (44-5) won the Northwest Athletic Conference South Region, and enters the NWAC Softball Championships beginning Thursday through Sunday at Delta Park in Portland. Earning an opening round bye in the double-elimination tournament, the Red Devils play Clackamas at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
