PINEVILLE, La. – In its final home play date for 2012, the Louisiana College softball team sent its seniors out in style sweeping a doubleheader from rival East Texas Baptist 10-2 and 9-3.

The wins vaulted LC (24-8, 13-7 American Southwest Conference East) into second place in their division with four games to play. ETBU (21-13, 12-8 ASC East) fell to third in the division.

LC trailed in both games, 2-0 in the first and 3-0 in the second before scoring 10 and nine unanswered runs respectively.

In the first contest, ETBU went up 2-0 in the first inning with a two-run homerun by Alyssa Romero.

LC's Daniele Wilson (Destrehan, La./Archbishop Chappelle) countered with a two-run homerun of her own in the bottom of the first and the Lady Cats added five runs in the second, with a solo homerun by freshman Laura Gulotta-Parrish serving as the spark.

The Lady Cats eventually won the game on the mercy rule in the sixth on a two-RBI double by catcher Meagan Pearson.
