The hot Lady Royals softball squad<\/a> continues to get hotter. As winners of eight in a row, the women hosted Frostburg State Thursday afternoon in a matchup of two teams which made the 2010 NCAA Tournament. Eastern Mennonite poured on 23 runs in a non-conference sweep, pushing their winning streak to ten straight.<\/p>\n

EMU 8, Frostburg State 3<\/strong>
\nBox Score<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Shortstop
\nShortstop Brooke Hensley had seven RBIs in game two against Frostburg State, including a triple with the bases loaded which ended the game.<\/div>\n

The Lady Royals jumped on board in their first at-bat as Brooke Hensley<\/strong> (Elkton, Va.\/Spotswood) and Lisa Lee<\/strong> (Buckingham, Va.\/Buckingham) hit one-out singles. With two outs, Courtney Allman<\/strong> (Weyers Cave, Va.\/Fort Defiance) hit a low roller which was muffed by the shortstop, giving EMU a pair of unearned runs.<\/p>\n

The Bobcats plated one run in third to cut the lead in half but the women got back on the board in their half of the frame.<\/p>\n

With the bases loaded and two outs, the Lady Royals brought in another four runs, highlighted by a two-run single from Jessica Sullivan<\/strong> (Midlothian, Va.\/Manchester) to push the lead to 6-1.<\/p>\n

Frostburg State was struggling to get hits off Lee, the reigning ODAC Pitcher of the Week. In the sixth the Bobcats managed their third hit, a solo homerun to make it 6-2.<\/p>\n

Alexis Labiche<\/strong> (Winchester, Va.\/Millbrook) led off the sixth with a single and started another rally. Two more runs scored as EMU extended the edge to 8-2.<\/p>\n

The Bobcats got back-to-back hits to start the seventh, putting runners on second and third. But Lee only allowed one run to score, securing the 8-3 win.<\/p>\n

Lee moved her record to 10-4 with the complete game victory as she allowed just five hits and struck out eight batters.<\/p>\n

Hensley finished 3-3 with two runs and an RBI. Lee had a single and three walks as she scored twice. Jessica Blosser<\/strong> (Crimora, Va.\/Wilson Memorial) added a pair of singles.<\/p>\n

EMU 15, Frostburg State 5 – 6 innings<\/strong>
\nBox Score<\/a>
\nBoth teams were scoring runs early in the nightcap but EMU grabbed the upper hand and led 8-3 after three innings. Hensley had a two-run single in the second and Labiche added a three-run bomb in the third.<\/p>\n

The Bobcats scored two more in the fourth, trimming the lead to 8-5 and chasing starter Molly Smith<\/strong> (Elkton, Va.\/Spotswood).<\/p>\n

The score stayed that way until the bottom of the fifth, when Hensley hit her second two-out, two-run single to make it 10-5.<\/p>\n

The sixth inning looked to be quiet, as EMU had two runners on with two away. But the Lady Royals caught fire once again. A double brought in one run before the women loaded the bases. An error on a groundball scored another before Hensley stepped to the plate and added another dramatic two-out hit.<\/p>\n

The freshman cracked a shot to right center which cleared the bases and gave her a triple. The runs also ended the game on the mercy rule, giving Eastern Mennonite the 15-5 win.<\/p>\n

The Lady Royals rapped out 15 hits in the nightcap and added four walks. Hensley finished 4-5 with seven RBIs, all of them coming from two-out hits. Megan Barbour<\/strong> (Nokesville, Va.\/Brentsville District) was 3-3 with three runs and three RBIs.<\/p>\n

Labiche scored four runs and had three RBIs from her first collegiate homerun. Fellow freshman Mandi Hodges<\/strong> (Linville, Va.\/Broadway) had a couple of hits and scored three times.<\/p>\n

Smith pitched 3-2\/3 innings and picked up the win. Lee didn’t allow a hit in her 2-1\/3 frames and got the save.<\/p>\n

Eastern Mennonite is now 15-7 on the season. The women will try to improve their 6-0 ODAC mark on Saturday when they return to league play at Emory & Henry. First pitch is at 1:00pm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
