Softball Sweeps Twinbill over Tigers

DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern got complete-game victories from Amberlyn Walsworth and Cheyenne Mahy as the Savage Storm swept Ouachita Baptist by scores of 4-1 and 1-0 in the first two games of a weekend series at the Southeastern Softball Field.
 
The final game of the series is set for a noon first pitch on Sunday.
 
The sweep lifts the Savage Storm to 29-5 overall on the season and 19-4 in Great American Conference play.
 
SE collected 11 hits in the opener despite some slow run production, as Kady Fryrear, Gracie Ore, and Bailey Beard each posted two hits.
 
Mahy, Karissa Marshall, Kyia Monahwee, Peyton Streetman, and Jaleigh Durst each added a hit.
 
Mahy, Marshall, Fryrear, and Ore all had one RBI.
 
Walsworth got the start and tossed a complete game and scattered a run and three hits over 7.0 innings with four strikeouts and no walks.
 
Southeastern got on the board first with a Fryrear squeeze bunt plating Mahy for the 1-0 lead.
 
OBU would answer with a run in the top of the second and 1-1 was where the score would stay until the bottom of the sixth inning.
 
It was then that Ore broke the tie with a squeeze bunt that scored Streetman for the 2-1 lead.
 
After back-to-back singles loaded the bases, Mahy would hit a sac fly to center to plate Ore for a 3-1 lead.
 
Marshall followed with an RBI double to score Durst and make the score 4-1 which would hold up as the final.
 
In game two, Mahy would toss a complete-game shutout after scattering seven hits over 7.0 innings with two strikeouts without allowing a run.
 
Ore would collect three of SE's four hits, but it was the one by Durst, a solo home run, that would drive in the game's only run.
 
Neither team would even push a runner into scoring position over the first two-and-a-half innings before Durst connected on a one-out solo homer to center field for the 1-0 lead.
 
OBU would threaten in the fourth, pushing a runner to third with one out, and again in the sixth after moving a runner to third with two outs.  Both times Mahy worked out of a jam without allowing a run, preserving the 1-0 victory.
