Lubbock, Texas -- The No. 2-ranked Lubbock Christian University Lady Chaps finished off a four-game sweep of the Mid-America Christian Lady Evangels today (Apr. 20) by scores of 11-1 and 10-2 at Plains Capital Park in Lubbock, Texas.
The Lady Evangels got on the board first as consecutive singles by Erica Love and Carson Osborne plated Kenna McCoy in the first inning.
LCU answered with two in the bottom of the first and then went up 3-1 on a solo homer by Ashton Bell in the second inning.
Bell then hit a three-run homer in a five-run bottom of the fourth that blew the game open. Three miscues by the Lady Evangels led to four of the five runs in the inning being unearned.
Amanda Longorio struck out six in five innings with one run allowed to get the win for the Lady Chaps.
The Lady Chaps jumped on top in the nightcap with two in the first before McCoy again crossed the plate on an RBI single by Jackie Hilterbran in the third.
Bell again came through with a two-run single in the bottom of the third to key a four-run frame to stretch the lead to 6-1.
After a solo homer by Osborne in the fifth brought the Lady Evangels to within four runs, LCU responded with a run in the bottom of the inning and then a two-run single by Latainna Eltsosie sparked a three-run fifth inning that put it away.
Hilterbran went 2-of-3 at the plate for the Lady Evangels with an RBI, while Eltsosie was a perfect 3-of-3 with four RBI.
The Lady Evangels will next celebrate Senior Day on Tuesday afternoon (Apr. 23) at 2 p.m. against USAO at Jack Allen Field.
