Over's No-No Headlines Sweep

WINCHESTER, Va. – Shenandoah University ran its softball unbeaten streak to four games Saturday afternoon by sweeping N.C. Wesleyan in a USA South Conference doubleheader.

Shenandoah (12-7-1, 4-2 USA South) gave up just three hits total to the Bishops (10-9, 3-5).

In the opener, sophomore Brooke Over threw the first no-hitter of her career while Amanda Litwin had a two-hitter in the nightcap.

Over (6-4) struck out 11 in tossing her gem. She struck out the first four batters she faced and all but one of the Bishops starters.

Over's offense gave her all the support she would need by scoring three runs on four hits in the fourth. Freshman Denise Mitchell got things started with a double to left before Jolisa Jones and Catherine Pruiett had a run-scoring double and single, respectively.

The Hornets completed the game one scoring with two unearned runs in the fifth.

Ashley Plaugher had two of the victors eight hits.

Shenandoah was held to just six hits in the nightcap, but Shatora Lane made hers count by driving in a pair on a first inning double to left.

Pruiett had the other RBI by plating Jones with a second inning single. Jones had led off the frame with a triple.

Litwin (6-3) allowed singles in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings and did not allow a runner into scoring position after the first inning.

She had three strikeouts and walk in the win.

Shenandoah hosts Ferrum on Wednesday in another USA South Conference doubleheader.
