Freshman
Abby Maillet would then come in relief for Lady Wildcat starting pitcher
Leslie Eastham, who worked four innings, giving up five hits and two earned runs while striking out five.
Maillet would quiet BSC's bats for good the rest of the afternoon, throwing three hitless innings and allowing no runs while facing the minimum to pick up the first save of her college career.
Eastham would pick up the win to move to 6-1 on the year. Hall led LC at the plate in game one, going 2-for-3 with an RBI.
The Panthers once again got ahead early in game two of the doubleheader, scoring three runs on three hits, highlighted by an RBI double deep to centerfield by Alyssa Statham.
The Lady Wildcats would storm back in the bottom of the fourth inning, however, as a one-out double by
Meagan Pearson would set the stage for a five run frame that would put LC ahead 5-3.
Pearson would score two batters later on an
Emorie Nugent RBI single.
Chelsea Allen would then hit a dribbler that was misplayed by BSC second baseman Chelsea Fernandez, scoring Nugent and
Jade Johnson to tie the game 3-3.
LC second baseman
Stephanie Jaeger would then give the Lady Wildcats their first lead with a two-RBI single up the middle that scored Allen and
Brianna Hall to put LC out front 5-3.
Madison Vige would then come on in relief of starter
Nancy Bunting in the sixth inning after Bunting was hit by a line drive off the bat off BSC's Bethany Fronk in the fifth inning. Vige would earn the save, working two scoreless innings to secure the Lady Cats' doubleheader sweep with a 5-4 win in game two.
The pair of victories moves LC's season record to 13-4, as the Lady Wildcats will head to Tyler, TX for a Saturday doubleheader with top-5 Texas-Tyler. The first of those games will begin at 2 p.m.
