STAUNTON, Va. E Shenandoah University ran its softball winning streak to four games Thursday afternoon with 11-0 and 16-2 victories over future USA South Conference opponent Mary Baldwin College.

Shenandoah (5-7) used big innings in both games against Mary Baldwin (0-14) to earn its fifth victory in its last eight games.

In game one, the Hornets jumped out early with three runs in the first before ending it with a five-run fifth. Sophomore Katie Haskins (2-4) didnít need all of the offense though, as she allowed just one hit in the five innings while striking out three. Only a fourth inning single to center prevented Haskins from registering the programís second-ever no-hitter.

SU had 10 hits in the opener with Jolisa Jones getting three and Haskins two. Eight of nine spots in the order either registered at least one hit or drove in a run.

The Fighting Squirrels actually led game two, 1-0, by scoring a single run in the first off of sophomore AJ Lekki (3-2), but the Hornets seized control of the nightcap with seven runs in the third.

Leading 10-2 heading into the seventh, Shenandoah put up a six-spot to coast home to its largest victory of the spring.

Lekki allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits to post her third straight win. She struck out a season-high eight in her fifth complete game of the year.

Freshmen Brittany Bailey and Jessica Robertson were both 2-for-3 with Robertson driving in three runs. Classmate Jolisa Jones drove in two runs with a seventh-inning single to left.
