The No. 12 South Mountain Community College softball team (34-10, 26-6 ACCAC Division II) defeated No. 15 Phoenix College 7-5 and 8-2 in an ACCAC Division II home doubleheader on Tuesday, April 7. Sophomore Alyssa Jemio earned the win in the circle and drove in three runs at the plate, including a solo home run, in the game-one victory. In game two, freshman Leah Alcala blasted a go-ahead two-run home run in the fifth and fellow rookie GG Moreno launched her second home run of the day in the 8-2 win as the Cougars claimed the season series with the Bears and extended their winning streak to 15-straight games.

In the sixth, sophomore Kaeliann Glass and Alcala picked up RBI singles, and Glass scored on an error off the bat of Blake.
Jarvis scored on an error in the third to put SMCC on the scoreboard, and Moreno launched a solo home run in the fourth to tie the game.
