Mobile, Ala. – No. 5 ranked William Carey University (30-7, 5-3 GCAC) swept both halves of a doubleheader at Spring Hill College on Tuesday by the scores of 2-0 and 7-1.

In the first game, the Lady Crusaders scored single runs in the first and last innings to blank the Lady Badgers 2-0 behind the pitching of Devin King who collected the complete-game victory.  King gave up six hits with no walks and a single strikeout to Spring Hill batters.  WCU second baseman Bree Neidhardt scored both runs off for the visitors and also picked up two hits and a stolen base.

For Spring Hill College, Brittany Abate (6-6) went the distance in the loss and allowed no earned runs, seven hits, two walks and a strikeout.

Spring Hill and William Carey found themselves tied at one after five innings in the second game when the Lady Crusaders erupted for a four run sixth inning and a two run seventh to salt away the contest 7-1.  In the sixth, leadoff singles and a sacrifice bunt by WCU led to a second-and-third situation with one out.  Two consecutive fielder's choices that failed to register outs resulted in two runs that were followed by a two-RBI base hit to left field by left fielder Tan Montgomery.  The seventh saw two more runs score off a controversial two-run double down the left field line by relief pitcher Brittany Fuller.

Katie McCrary was the winner for WCU and Samantha Brooks (10-11) took the complete game loss for SHC.  McCrary gave up four hits two, walks and two strikeouts while Brooks walked two, struck out three and surrendered 10 hits.
