Game 2 Box Score

LYNCHBURG, VA - The Lynchburg College softball team extended its winning streak to 12 games as they swept the Virginia Wesleyan College Marlins 4-0 and 6-1 in an Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) double-header from Aubrey R. Moon, Jr. Field.

Lynchburg started the scoring in the first game when Lauren Duguay (Williamsburg, VA/Jamestown) hit a sacrifice fly to center field that drove in Amber James (Manahawkin, NJ/S. Regional). Duguay doubled to right centerfield in the fifth inning to plate Taylor Walker (Poquoson, VA/Poquoson) then Brittany Allsop (Milford, CT/Johnathan Law) registered a single to left centerfield to score Duguay. Tara Campbell (Leesburg, VA/Loudoun Co.) concluded the scoring in the sixth inning with a solo shot.

Barbie Miles (Kinsale, VA/Washington & Lee) threw a pitching gem in the circle, throwing for seven innings, allowing just five hits and striking out 14 batters. Her 14 strikeouts places her first in the conference this season for the most single-game strikeouts, beating the previous mark of 13. Campbell and Walker each had multi-hit games for the Hornets

The offensive show began earlier for the Hornets in game two as they jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first inning. Allsop doubled to lead off the inning and Rachel Gallagher (Warrenton, VA/Fauquier) drove in Allsop on a single. Walker tacked on a double to right field that drove in Gallagher. The Marlins answered with a run of their own in the second inning as a Hornet error allowed Dunstan to cross home plate. Lynchburg went on to outscore the Marlins 4-0 in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, highlighted by a two-run homer by Duguay in the fourth and a solo homer from Katie Bruce in the fifth.

Katie Bruce (Lanexa, VA/Lafayette) had another fine pitching performance in game two, tossing seven innings, giving up five hits and fanning seven Marlins. Allsop recorded two hits and two runs, Bruce contributed with two hits, one run, and one RBI, and Duguay went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one run.

Lynchburg (17-4/8-0) travels to Bridgewater, VA, on Wednesday to square off with the Bridgewater College Eagles at 3 p.m.
