Spartans Sweep Highlanders in Double-Header to Kick Off Big South Three-Game Series

Radford, Va. – USC Upstate continued its winning ways by sweeping Radford in the first two games in the three-game series. 

Upstate took the early lead in game one, as Sarah Price put the first run on the board as she scored off a Radford throwing error. Peyton Darnell added two runs with a single up the middle, giving Upstate a three-run lead. Upstate added one more in the top of the fourth, keeping Radford scoreless until the bottom of the third. Tiffany Domingue secured the win for Upstate with a home run over the  left field wall. Hannah Houge recorded her 17th win of the season as she threw 131 pitches across 7.0 innings, throwing eight strikeouts.  

Domingue started game two the same way she walked off from game one, with a home run only this time over the center field wall. Celeste Delorenzo followed Domingue with a similar hit to center. A single from Mady Lanoux and two errors from Radford gave Upstate a 5-0 lead with the conclusion of the top of the second inning. Radford was able to avoid a shutout with a home run in the bottom of the third but was unable to come back for the win. Alyssa Kelly threw 87 pitches across seven innings, along with eight strikeouts, to earn her ninth win of the season.
