Game 1 box score
LAUREL, Miss. —
Carina Chargois and
Vivionna Robles pitched shutouts, and
Kyla Porche produced RBIs on five consecutive at-bats to
lead Xavier University of Louisiana to 7-0 and 12-0 softball
victories Tuesday against Southeastern Baptist.
The Gold Nuggets (17-24)
ended a four-game losing streak. They'll be back on the road
Saturday for a 2 p.m. Red River Athletic Conference doubleheader
at Louisiana Christian.
Chargois threw 81 pitches
in seven innings of the opener and allowed four hits — all singles
— and one walk. Chargois struck out five.
Robles threw 66 pitches
in five innings of the second game — it was called early
because of the mercy rule — and allowed one hit and no walks.
Robles hit one batter and struck out eight.
The Lady Chargers' only
second-game hit was Emma Harrell's single to center field with one out in the first
inning.
Porche's RBI assembly line
consisted of:
• A fifth-inning
sacrifice fly in the first game to score
Alexis Richardson and give XULA a 4-0 lead.
• A seventh-inning
single to score Richardson and make it 5-0.
• Sacrifice flies
in each of the first two innings of the second game; those also scored Richardson.
• A two-out double
in the third to score
Kiera Evans, who also doubled.
The shutouts are the third and fourth of XULA's two-season,
62-game history and its first two on the road. It was Chargois'
second shutout this season; the freshman right-hander
beat Jarvis Christian 5-0 March 27.
XULA's offense totaled 26 hits
and no strikeouts in the doubleheader.
Mecolett Bradley (first game)
and
Brittany Ensley (second game) hit bases-empty home runs;
Mekayla Marshall
had three RBIs in the second game.
Southeastern Baptist —
a National Christian College Athletic Association member in its
first season of varisty softball — is 0-32.
