With a potential Great South Athletic Conference regular-season championship on the line, the Piedmont College softball team swept visiting LaGrange College tonight at Walker Field by the scores of 4-0 and 3-2. PC pounded out 21 hits in their 12 innings on offense and held the vistiors to a mere eight hits including only one hit in game one.

On the mound Meredith Ray pitched the entire doubleheader allowing only one earned run while striking out nine. She improves her overall record to 11-1 and a perfect 7-0 in GSAC competition.

Lindsay Drevlow led the offense by going 5-6 with three doubles and two runs scored. Ray helped her own cause by going 2-6 with two runs scored and an RBI and Heather Denne went 3-7.

In the opening game the Lady Lions scored two in the second inning and tacked on two insurance runs in the fourth. The second game was much closer as LaGrange put runners at second and third in the bottom of the seventh with one out. Ray was able to induce an RBI groundout to second baseman May Alves and then strike out the next hitter with the tying run only sixty feet away.

The victories move PC to 17-3 overall and 12-0 in the Great South Athletic Conference. The Lady Lions will travel to Atlanta, GA to take on NCAA Division-III South Region powerhouse Emory University on Sunday, April 2nd with the doubleheader set to begin at 1:00.
