GREENSBORO, N.C. (4/19/09) - Kelly Hale's one-out double in the bottom of the seventh scored Julie Langseth and lifted Guilford College to an 8-7 softball win over Randolph-Macon College Sunday. The win completed a sweep of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) doubleheader after Jessica Burcham (10-5) fanned 12 in a Guilford's (23-11, 11-5 ODAC) 3-0 opening-game win. She also won the nightcap in relief to tie the school record for wins in a season.

The nightcap featured three ties and four home runs. Randolph-Macon's Laura Bauer hit a two-run double in the first and a three-run shot in the third inning. Ashley Crouch followed Bauer's third-inning homer with a solo blast to open a 6-2 lead. Guilford tied the game in the bottom of the frame thanks to an RBI single by Hale and Amber Stapler's three-run double.

The Quakers took their first lead of the game on Langseth's solo homer in the fifth. Randolph-Macon forced extra innings on Paige Smith's two-out, RBI double in the top of the seventh.

Bauer went two-for-three with five RBI for the Yellow Jackets (13-15, 7-11 ODAC). Morgan Greene also had two hits and scored twice. Courtney Brooks (7-8) took the loss in relief.

Five different Quakers had two hits in the second game, including Stapler, who had three RBI and scored once. Langseth was two-for-four with two RBI and two runs scored. Burcham threw four innings in the nightcap and struck out four after a dominant first-game effort. The rookie held Randolph-Macon to three hits and missed her school record for strikeouts in a game by one. She yielded only three hits and worked around four walks for her school-record fifth shutout of the season.

Guilford scored all of its runs in the fifth inning. Some heads up base running led to Guilford's first run. Stapler scored from second when Ami Hutcherson got caught in a rundown between first and second after Sarah Pedroncelli was forced out at home plate on a Hutcherson bunt. After a Charissa Duncan walk, Kimberly Keys hit a two-run triple to left for a 3-0 lead.

The Quakers are scheduled to host Sweet Briar College Monday in an ODAC doubleheader.
