ELKINS, W.Va. – The Concord University softball team swept its final regular-season doubleheader as it downed Davis & Elkins 12-6 and 14-3 Friday afternoon in a pair of Mountain East Conference games at Joni Smith Field.

CU finishes the regular season at 26-24 overall and 15-15 in MEC play. Davis & Elkins is 15-39 and 10-20 in the conference after Friday's results.

Game 1: Concord 12 – Davis & Elkins 6
CU never trailed in the contest despite some back-and-forth in the game early on.

Senior pitcher/infielder Madison Hollis opened the scoring in the first inning with a three-run home run out to right center field which was the start of a big game for the Mountain Lions' two-way player. Later in the first inning, senior outfielder Alina Giles launched her sixth home run of the season to take the lead to 4-0.

Davis & Elkins, though, cut the margin to 4-3 heading to the second inning.

An infield single by senior infielder Lacie Lewis pushed the lead back to two runs, 5-3, in the second—where it stayed until the bottom of the third inning when a solo home run from the Senators trimmed the lead to a run.

A three-run fourth inning gave the Mountain Lions a cushion as Hollis brought in two runs on a single, scoring Lewis and sophomore utility Kristy McCord. Hollis scored later in the inning to complete the rally.

D&E got within 8-6 in the bottom of the fourth on a two-run double, but Concord put the game out of reach with a run in the sixth and three more in the seventh.

An error brought in McCord after she had reached on a two-out double in the sixth.

Lewis had her own double in the seventh that scored junior infielder Kendall Morgan. Hollis capped her eight-RBI game with a double to left center field that plated Lewis and McCord.

Hollis, Lewis and freshman catcher/infielder Hannah Niten all had three hits. Hollis' eight RBI were a single-game program record. Both hits for Morgan were doubles. McCord finished the contest 2-for-4 with four runs scored.

Hollis (16-8) went all seven innings in the circle as she struck out four batters.

Game 2: Concord 14 – Davis & Elkins 3
The Mountain Lions posted a season-high 14 runs with all of them coming in their final four at-bats.

After a slow start, senior catcher Kayla Sholter opened the scoring with an RBI double in the fourth inning that brought in senior outfielder Morgan Gleason.

With sophomore pitcher/outfielder Reghan Hintz retiring 12 of the first 14 batters she faced, the Concord offense gave her more run support in the fifth inning. Morgan notched a one-out single and progressed along before scoring on a wild pitch. McCord restarted the rally with a two-out walk and raced around the bases on an RBI double by Hollis.

Holding a 3-0 edge, Lewis helped CU expand the lead in the sixth as she was responsible for three of the four runs scoring in the frame. Giles came in on a fielder's choice after she doubled to lead off the inning. Then with two runners on and two outs, Lewis struck a three-run home run to take the advantage to 7-0.

D&E got within 7-3 in the bottom of the sixth, but the Mountain Lions scored seven times in the seventh.

Back-to-back two-run doubles from freshman outfielder Grace Dodson and Morgan grew the lead to 11-3. Lewis followed with a solo home run, and Hollis crushed a two-run homer two batters later that scored McCord.

Lewis was 3-for-5 in the nightcap with two home runs and four RBI. Four other Mountain Lions had two hits: Hintz, Hollis, Morgan and Niten. Hollis drove in three runs while Morgan added two RBI. McCord drew three walks and scored twice.

Hintz (9-13) went the distance in the circle as she allowed three runs on three hits and struck out eight.

CU finished with 14 runs and tied its season high with 14 hits.

The Mountain Lions open the MEC Tournament Wednesday in Salem, Virginia at the Moyer Sports Complex. More information will be provided this weekend.
