The Warrior baseball team pushed its season win total to 17 Monday as it picked up a pair of wins over Upper Iowa Conference foe Postville on the road.
In a series in which South Winn outscored its opponents, 25-2, over the two games, it was all hands on deck when it came to mound duties.
In game one of the doubleheader, the Warriors used three pitchers to complete the dominating win. Mason Elsbernd got the start and was credited with the win, as the Warriors jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the first inning of the game.
The Pirates got their lone run of the game in the bottom of the third inning, cutting the SW lead to three, but South Winn responded with five runs over the next two innings to enlarge its lead.
