RAYMOND, Miss. – The Hinds Community College Softball team delivered a dominant performance at home on February 21, sweeping Southeast Arkansas College in convincing fashion with an 8-0 shutout in game one and a 14-5 run-rule victory in game two. With the sweep, the Lady Eagles move to 12-3 overall.

GAME ONE
Hinds set the tone early and never looked back in the opener, plating runs in four of the five innings en route to the 8-0 victory.

Addison Galloway sparked the offense at the top of the lineup, while Aubrie Carter and Alyx Hall each drove in runs to keep pressure on the SEARK defense. Emma Hudson turned in a big performance at the plate, tallying two hits and an RBI, and Jalia McDaniel added a key RBI as the Lady Eagles racked up nine hits as a team.

In the circle, Jazmin Robertson was in complete control. The right-hander tossed a five-inning shutout, allowing just six hits while striking out three batters.

GAME TWO
The Hinds defense backed her up with clean, steady play to secure the shutout victory. The Lady Eagles' bats stayed hot in game two, exploding for 14 runs on 13 hits to complete the sweep.

Hinds wasted no time getting started, scoring three runs in the first inning before breaking the game open with a four-run third and another four-run fourth inning.

Alyx Hall powered the offense with a home run and two RBIs, while Emma Hudson delivered three RBIs as part of a multi-hit performance. Addison Galloway continued her strong day with two hits and an RBI, and Aubrie Carter added a pair of hits and an RBI of her own.

The Lady Eagles were aggressive on the basepaths, swiping multiple bags and constantly applying pressure.
