The Hinds Community College softball program won three out of four contests over the weekend to even their overall record at 3-3 on the young 2015 season.
 
The Lady Eagles defeated Bossier Parish (La.) Community College three consecutive times over the course of Friday and Saturday before falling in the weekend finale to Holmes Community College, 3-1, on Saturday.

Duchesne and Holt each hit a solo home run, while Gabby Franklin (Waynesboro) went 2-3 with one RBI and one run scored in the win.

Holt led Hinds offensively, going 1-3 with one home run, one run scored and three RBI, while Katie Bunch (Waynesboro) and Thomas each added a hit and two RBI.
 
Bridgett Goss (Bogalusa, La.), like Travis on Saturday, was the headliner in the first game on Friday, throwing all seven innings and allowing only two runs (one earned), while finishing with one strikeout and no walks allowed.
 
Duchesne was the heavy hitter in the victory, going 2-3 and accounting for all five runs on her three-run double and two-run home run.
 
Patterson was 2-3 with two runs scored in the win.
 
The Lady Eagles opened the season on Monday, Feb. 9 versus Itawamba Community College at home, but fell in both games of the two-game set, 16-7 in game two and 9-5 in the season opener.
 
Holt and Patterson each went 3-4 in game two, with Holt scoring two runs and adding an RBI, while Patterson drove in two runs.
