JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A day after clinching the ASUN Conference regular season title, the Kennesaw State softball team concluded its schedule with a doubleheader sweep over Jacksonville at The Debbie & Fred Pruitt Softball Complex in Jacksonville.
Â
Hailey Andrews threw a complete game, and
Alexa Solorzano and
Jessie Mullen each homered to pace the Owls (36-15, 14-3) to a 4-2 victory in the opener. In the nightcap,
Kira Czyrklis double and homered, and
Alley Cutting pitched 4 2/3 innings of relief to highlight a 3-1 win.
Â
The doubleheader sweep gave Kennesaw State a series victory and completed an impressive run through the ASUN Conference schedule as the Owls captured all six of its league series for the first time in program history.
Â
Solorzano had a big day at the plate as she went 4-for-7 with two runs scored and a home run in the two games, while Czyrklis had three hits in eight at-bats, a pair of runs scored, two doubles, a home run and two RBIs.
Â
Making her first ASUN start of the season, Andrews (5-0) allowed five hits, two runs, did not walk a batter and struck out two while going the distance in game one. The Owls' junior also started game two and surrendered two hits, a run, walked three and struck out one in 2 1/3 innings.
Â
Cutting (14-8) came on in the third inning and limited Jacksonville (24-26, 5-9) to a pair of hits, a walk and struck out four.
Â
After earning the No. 1 seed in the ASUN Championship, Kennesaw has earned an opening-round bye and will next be in action on May 10 when it opens tournament action in DeLand, Fla.
