Larry Niemeyer's magic number stands at 9.
Cedar Rapids Jefferson swept Waterloo East, 11-0 and 4-3, in a Mississippi Valley Conference softball double-header Tuesday at Jefferson.
The winningest coach in national history, Niemeyer is 1,991-408 in 50 seasons.
Next up for the J-Hawks (4-0): At Iowa City West on Thursday.
They're scheduled to play four games this weekend at the Jefferson Tournament -- against Burlington (8:30 a.m.) and Newton (7 p.m.) Friday and against Indianola (4:45 p.m.) and New London (6:15 p.m.) Saturday.
If Jefferson continues to win and games aren't rained out, the earliest Niemeyer could reach 2,000 would be next Thursday at Waterloo West.
