EMU’s softball women got busy building another winning streak Sunday, taking apart the York (Pa.) Spartans.\u00a0 The Lady Royals had 11 hits in each game of the two-game sweep.<\/p>\n

EMU 13, York 1
\n<\/strong>After a disappointing split against Mary Washington on Saturday, the women got their bats going quickly in their home opener.\u00a0 Lisa Lee<\/a><\/strong> (Buckingham, VA\/Buckingham County) led off with a double and the hit parade started.\u00a0 The Lady Royals put together five hits, including a three-run homer from Sara Jenkins<\/a><\/strong> (Stanley, VA\/Page County).<\/p>\n

Molly Smith<\/a><\/strong> (Elkton, VA\/Spotswood) drove out a two-run blast to start an eight-run second.\u00a0 EMU put together five hits with three walks and closed out their second big inning with back-to-back sacrifice flies to push the lead to 13-0.<\/p>\n

The women left the bases loaded in the third, but it didn’t matter as the Spartans only managed one run in the mercy-shortened game.<\/p>\n

Eastern Mennonite had 11 hits and eight walks in their four at-bats. \u00a0Jenkins finished 3-3 with her second homerun.\u00a0 The junior scored twice and had four RBIs.\u00a0 Brooke Hensley<\/a><\/strong> was 2-3 (Elkton, VA\/Spotswood) with two runs and an RBI.<\/p>\n

Courtney Allman<\/a><\/strong> (Mt. Solon, VA\/Fort Defiance), Jordan Aylor<\/a><\/strong> (Madison, VA\/Madison County) and Rasheeda Crews<\/a><\/strong> (Brookneal, VA\/William Campbell) each scored twice as well.<\/p>\n

Lee threw the complete game to improve to 6-1.\u00a0 She scattered four hits and struck out two.<\/p>\n

EMU 5, York 2
\n<\/strong>The Spartans got on board in their first at-bat in game two, putting together a pair of hits to go ahead 1-0.<\/p>\n

The Lady Royals batted around in the third and took the lead with four two-out runs.\u00a0 Smith and Jenkins each hit RBI singles, and Crews added a two-run single.<\/p>\n

York scored a run in the fourth, but EMU got it back in the fifth when Allman lofted a leadoff homerun over the left field fence to make it 5-2.<\/p>\n

The visitors threatened in the sixth, but had a runner thrown out at home to end the inning.\u00a0 The Spartans got a two-out single in the seventh, but Aylor threw her third consecutive scoreless frame in relief to preserve the three-run win.<\/p>\n

Smith started in the circle and pitched four innings to improve to 4-0.\u00a0 Aylor earned her first save with three innings of work.<\/p>\n

Lee was 3-4 from the plate to lead an 11-hit attack.\u00a0 She hit two doubles and a triple while scoring one run.\u00a0 Allman hit her team-best fifth homer of the year and finished 2-3 with two runs and an RBI.<\/p>\n

Crews was 2-3 with a pair of RBIs and Jenkins also had a pair of hits with one RBI.<\/p>\n

Eastern Mennonite is now 14-2 and continues their homestand with Hood on Tuesday.\u00a0 First pitch from Gehman Field is 3 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
