Randolph-Macon Takes Two

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

ASHLAND, Va. (4/11/10) --

Freshman Heather Lewis earned a save in the opener and won the nightcap of Randolph-Macon College's softball doubleheader sweep of Guilford College Sunday. She threw two scoreless innings to close out the Yellow Jackets' (11-9, 7-5 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC)) 4-3 opening-game victory and earned her team-leading sixth win of the season with a complete game in an 8-7 game-two win.

Randolph-Macon took advantage of four walks by Guilford starter Jessica Burcham to take a 3-2 lead after two innings in the opener. Ami Hutcherson's two-out infield single in the fifth tied the score, but the Yellow Jackets' regained the lead on Michalann Camp's RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the frame. Lewis entered the game with no outs and the bases loaded in the sixth inning and worked out of the jam with two strikeouts and a groundout.  

Camp was 2-3 with two RBI and Laura Bauer also had two hits. Rookie Kristen Dize (1-0) earned her first college victory for Randolph-Macon. Hutcherson and Autumn Yoder both had two hits and an RBI for the Quakers, who stranded 13 runners in the game.

The Quakers (24-9-1, 9-3 ODAC) jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the nightcap and took a 5-4 edge into the sixth inning before the Yellow Jackets took the lead with four runs. Lauryn Nanny and Megan Shepherd had run-scoring doubles in the decisive inning. Charissa Duncan's two-run double in the sixth made it an 8-7 game, but Lewis stranded her at second by inducing two groundouts to end the game.

Four Yellow Jackets had two hits in the game, including Bauer and Paige Smith, who added two RBI. Lewis fanned five and did not walk a batter in her fourth complete game of the year.

Hutcherson went 2-3 with two RBI for the Quakers. Teammate Kimberly Keys also had two hits.

Guilford closes its home schedule Wednesday (4/14) against Randolph College in a 3:00 ODAC doubleheader. The contests are Guilford's 'Score for the Cure' games as the Quakers seek to raise awareness and funding for the fight against breast cancer. Fans are asked to pledge a donation to fight breast cancer based on the number of runs scored by Guilford. Donations can be directed to Guilford head coach Dennis Shores.
