College softball: Gaspar powers Vulcans to 2 victories with 2 more homers

Bailey Gaspar homered in both games, including a grand slam, to help give UH-Hilo a road doubleheader sweep, 10-5 and 8-5, over Western New Mexico on Tuesday in a non-conference doubleheader.

UH-Hilo (5-2) travels to the Dixie State Easton Classic, which begins on Thursday with a test against No. 19 nationally ranked Colorado Mesa.

Against the Mustangs (0-7), Gaspar hit her fourth and fifth home runs of the season. Last year during an all-region and All-American year, she hit six total.

In the first game, UH-Hilo scored four runs in the fourth inning to give starting pitcher Billi Derleth (2-1) all the run support she would need.
