Chickasha, Okla. -- The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma Drovers came out firing and swept the Mid-America Christian University Lady Evangels by scores of 10-2 & 5-0 in a Sooner Athletic Conference doubleheader today (Apr. 16) in Chickasha, Okla.
The Lady Evangels (29-17, 11-11 SAC) actually got on the board first in the opener on a two-run single by Ashley Sanford in the first inning.
USAO scored a run in the bottom of the first and then erupted in the second as a three-run double by Dani Warren and a two-run double from Tate Landmark keyed a six-run frame that suddenly put the Drovers up 7-2.
The Drovers then put it away by capitalizing on three MACU miscues in the fourth to score three runs.
Jaci Booker was charged with no earned runs in the first game for the Drovers over five innings to get the win.
Taylor Smith went 3-of-3 at the dish with a pair of RBI for USAO.
Amber Tinney pitched four innings for MACU and allowed eight earned runs and struck out one.
In the nightcap, Kayla Adams hit a home run in the second to snap a scoreless tie and then doubled home a run in a four-run fourth inning. The Drovers (29-19, 11-11 SAC) also got a two-run single from Warren in the inning.
Kelcie Wolf started for the Lady Evangels and gave up five runs in four innings before Sanford came on and pitched two scoreless innings of relief.
Landmark shut out the Lady Evangels in seven innings with one walk and nine strikeouts in the second game.
The Lady Evangels will next be in action Friday afternoon (Apr. 18) at Northwood University at 1 p.m. in Dallas, Texas.
