It took two games for Kelso's Lexi Grumbois to get her footing with the Eastern Oregon University softball team.
Grumbois, a graduate of Lower Columbia College and a junior with the Mountaineers, slugged a three-run homer and added a run-scoring single in a 14-11 victory over Central Washington.
Grumbois finished the game hitting 2-for-3 with four RBIs and scored three runs.
Her teammate, ex-LCC player Allison Baumgart, went 0-3 and scored a run. For Central, former LCC player Joelie Eder went 1-3 and scored a run.
In Central's 9-4 win over Eastern Oregon, Grumbois slapped an RBI ground out, and Eder had a hit and knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly.
For the first time in program history, Eastern Oregon began the season as the third-ranked NAIA team in the nation. The NAIA Top 25 rankings are determined by a panel of head coaches from various conferences and independent groups.
