ASHLAND, Va. - The Shenandoah University softball team earned its first two victories of the 2010 softball season Saturday afternoon with 4-1 and 1-0 non-league wins over Randolph-Macon.

Shenandoah (2-2) was a 4-1 winner in the opener before taking the nightcap 1-0.

The losses were the first two of the season for R-MC (4-2).

In the opener, SU scored two runs in the first and two more in the third to provide sophomore Brooke Over all of the offense she would need.

Over (1-1) tossed a complete game, scattering six hits, five walks and the one run against eight strikeouts.

Junior Jolisa Jones was 3 for 3 at the plate with a pair of runs batted in while senior Lauren Wall matched Jones' RBI production with one swing - she made it 4-0 with a two-run HR in the third.

Jones drove in her two runs with a first inning double to left center.

In the nightcap, freshman Amanda Litwin won a pitchers duel by scattering three hits (all singles) in the complete game performance.

Litwin, 1-1 on the year, did not allow a hit after the second and retired the final 15 in order.

Renoula Jones scored the only run of the game when she led off the third with a single to right, was sacrificed to second and then came all the way around to score on an error by Jackets second baseman Kelly Beard.

Shenandoah is back in action Sunday with a non-league doubleheader against Guilford at Great Bridge H.S. in Chesapeake, Virginia.
