GALESBURG — Hannah Pyle had two hits in each game, but Kishwaukee dealt the Sandburg softball team a pair of losses Thursday afternoon in an Arrowhead Conference doubleheader.

L: Cheyanne Rodgers 6 IP, 5 K, 3 BB

Key moments
• Trailing 4-0 in the third, the Chargers cut their deficit in half as a Jordyn Climer walk and Bailey Ryan double to open the inning put runners at second and third. Ailexa Hunter brought in Climer with a sacrifice fly, and Pyle delivered an RBI hit to center.
• The Kougars took a 5-2 lead into the sixth and used a grand slam as part of a six-run frame to put the game out of reach.
