CASSOPOLIS - The host Lady Rangers came into the 2005 season having not won a single Lakeland Conference game since 2002.
On Wednesday Cassopolis swept visiting Berrien Springs to win their third and fourth lea-gue games of the season.
Cassopolis took the first game 10-0 and then won the nightcap, 7-2.
The Lady Rangers may only be 7-15 on the year and 4-12 in the league, but Cassopolis has come a long way in a short period of time under new head coach Randy Brooks.
The phases of the game where the Lady Rangers have improved the most have been in defense and pitching.
Both were solid on Tuesday afternoon when Cassopolis lost to Lakeland Conference champion Brandywine, 3-1 and 4-0.
But Wednesday the Lady Rangers got to shine on offense against the Lady Shamrocks.
Freshman Symone Pompey tossed a no-hitter with nine strike outs and just one walk in the opening game for Cassopolis.
Randi Hoffman was the winning pitcher in the second game.
Ashley Solloway and Becky File both singled and doubled in the opener, while in the nightcap, Jealyn Foston had two singles.
Cassopolis returns to action on Tuesday when it hosts Lake Michigan Catholic at 4 p.m.
