ANDERSON, S.C. – The No. 24 Lady Eagles
(5-1) picked up two wins on the diamond Sunday afternoon as they
defeated the Trojans of Anderson (S.C.) (7-3) by scores of 10-0 and
9-1 in a regional doubleheader.
Game One – Carson-Newman 10, Anderson 0 (five
innings)
Carson-Newman got on the board in the top of the third inning with
four runs including back-to-back run-scoring doubles by sophomore
Mary Shealy (Clinton, S.C.) and junior
Ashley Boyd (Chattanooga, Tenn.).
The Lady Eagles picked up two more runs in the fourth as junior
Leah Price (Spring City, Tenn.) and freshman
Bri Shoemake (Ooltewah, Tenn.) each had RBI
hits.
C-N scored four runs in the top of the fifth to give it a 10-0
advantage including a two-run home run by Boyd. Both Price and
sophomore Cassidy Skeen (Powell, Tenn.) scored
their second runs of the game in the inning as well.
Though Anderson was able to get a runner in scoring position, the
Trojans could not score, and the game was called due to the
eight-run advantage rule.
Boyd picked up the win on the mound for the Lady Eagles, moving to
3-0 on the year, as she allowed just three hits while striking out
six. Anderson’s Alex Waldroup (LaGrange, Ga.) (2-1) suffered
the loss, as she allowed six runs on nine hits in four innings of
work.
Game Two – Carson-Newman 9, Anderson 1
The Lady Eagles jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first as
Shoemake it a two-run home run, scoring Price who had just reached
safely on an error by the pitcher.
Anderson responded in the bottom half of the frame with a two-out
solo home run by Amber Duncan (Matthews, N.C.).
Carson-Newman would score three more runs in the third on three
straight base hits and plated another runner in the top of the
fourth to take a 6-1 lead.
In the top of the seventh, the Lady Eagles got three insurance runs
for the 9-1 final score. Senior Sara Little
(Calhoun, Ga.) led the inning off with a double to left field and
was driven home two batters later by Shealy’s double to the
same part of the park. Boyd cleared the bases with her second home
run of the day to cap the scoring for C-N.
Carson-Newman’s Shealy (2-1) went the distance in the win,
striking out eight and allowing just five hits. Kayla Hipp
(Anderson, S.C.) lost her first decision of the year, allowing six
runs on five hits in four innings of work.
Carson-Newman will play host to perennial regional power Georgia
College & State on Thursday at the Lady Eagle Softball Complex.
First pitch for game one of the doubleheader is slated for 2:00
