The Lady Lions softball team swept Fontbonne in a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon at Lou Brock Sports Complex, winning the two games by scores of 9-2 and 10-2.
Aubrey Moss gave Lindenwood a fantastic spark on the mound in game one, striking out nine batters in five innings and only giving up two runs on two hits to earn her third win of the season. At one point, Moss whiffed seven batters consecutively.
Offensively, the Lady Lions supported their pitcher, scoring four runs on four hits in the first inning, including a double by
Chelsea Landeck that scored two runners. In the third inning,
Miranda Schlosser smacked a three-run home run to give Lindenwood some more insurance. The Lady Lions added two more in the sixth on a double by
Jessica Long.
Game two was more of the same as Lindenwood put up seven runs in the first inning. This rally included five walks, a three-run double by
Emily Johnson, and a two-run single by Schlosser.
In the fourth inning, the Lady Lions scored three more runs to cement the win. Landeck capped the rally with a two-run double.
Heidi Schertzer got her second win this season, pitching four innings while surrendering just two runs on four hits, and striking out four batters.
With the sweep, the Lady Lions improve their record to 7-9 and are swinging the bats well. On Wednesday, Lindenwood will travel to Columbia, Missouri to take on the Columbia College Cougars.
