Game 1 statistics Game 2 statistics
Newport News, VA (04/01/04) --
The
sixth-ranked Christopher Newport softball squad swept a doubleheader Thursday,
beating Guilford College 9-6 and 9-3 in Newport News.
The Lady Captains, who this week attained their highest national ranking
ever at number-six in the country, have now won 13 straight games.
Christopher Newport won game one, 9-6, with a 13-hit attack, led by Dallas
Slosjarik's three hits, including an RBI triple in the first inning. C.J.
McQueen, who went the distance pitching for Christopher Newport, also
smacked two triples and knocked in three runs. Renee Sigafoos capped the
scoring with a three-run home run in the sixth inning.
The win for McQueen was her second in as many decisions this
season. Jennifer Evans took the loss for Guilford. The Quakers were led
in game one by Ashley Cooke who had three hits.
In the nightcap, Christopher Newport came from behind for a 9-3 triumph.
Trailing 3-0 in the second inning, the Captains went to the bullpen and Michelle
Kass then proceeded to shut down Guilford the rest of the way. Kass went
five and one-third innings, allowed no runs on just two hits and struck out six.
She improved her record to 11-4 with the win. Lindsay Paul took the loss
for Guilford.
Andrea Rohde led the Captains' offense in game two with a double
and triple and three runs batted in. McQueen again had two hits and
scored three times. Jennifer Franklin had two singles and an RBI for
Guilford.
Christopher Newport improves to 26-4 on the season with the wins, and the
Lady Captains will return to USA South Conference play Saturday hosting Ferrum
College.
