The Shaw softball team is on a roll.

The Lady Bears won both games of a doubleheader defeating Bowie State 8-0 and 7-2 at Sanderford Road Park.  The Lady Bears have now won 10-straight games.
 

The story in game one was the pitching of Shonda Welch (5-5).  Welch gave up only one hit, walked three while striking out nine.  The Lady Bulldogs lone hit of the game came on a Staci Walls single in the third inning.  The Lady Bears jumped out early scoring six runs in the first on only one hit.  Starter Courtney Walls gave up seven walks in the inning.  Felicia Sprattley went 2-for-3 with 1 RBI for the game.

Game two was much closer as Bowie State jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first on a Felicia Smith single, which scored Staci Walls.  The Lady Bears (11-12, 11-1) would even the score in their half of the first as Branda Best’s groundout scored Sprattley tying the game at 1-1.  Kimberly Hutchinson’s single in the top of the second scored Latoya Hopkins giving the Lady Bulldogs the 2-1 lead.  A Dishondra Goree homerun blast to left center in the bottom of the second tied the game at 2-2.  Sprattley (6-4) would not allow another run the rest of the game getting the complete game victory.  Best’s double which scored Welch in the bottom of the third proved to be the game-winning RBI.  Sprattley helped her cause at the plate finishing 2-for-3 with two runs batted in, two runs scored and two triples.  Tanesha Haynes and Joi King also had two hits a-piece.

The Lady Bears will host Virginia State on Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. at Sanderford Road Park in a re-match of last year's CIAA Championship game.
