The 7th-ranked University of Mobile softball team rolled to a double-header sweep of visiting Spring Hill on senior day Saturday afternoon. The Lady Rams took game one 7-0 and finished with an 11-2 victory in the finale.

In the opener, the Lady Rams scored three in the 1st and four in the 5th to back a complete game, 7-hit effort from lefty Ginger Reeser (13-2).

Mobile sent 8 batters to the plate in the opening frame and got RBI base hits from Jessica McIntyre, Cristina Rodriguez and Kelyn Mendoza to take a 3-0 lead.

The Lady Rams then put the game away in the 5th by starting the frame with 5 consecutive hits and batting around to score 4 more runs and take a 7-0 lead. Yaicey Sojo finished 2-for-4, Jessica McIntyre and Cristina Rodriguez each finished 2-for-4 with 1 RBI and Kelyn Mendoza drove in a pair and went 2-for-3 at the plate.

The finale saw the Lady Rams score early and often, capping an 11-run outburst with a 5-spot in the 4th inning to take a 5-inning run-rule victory.

Mobile used power in the 3rd and 4th innings to cap the scoring. Jineth Pimentel blasted a 3-run homer in the 3rd and then Kelyn Mendoza smacked a 3-run double and Yaicey Sojo hit a 2-run homer in the 4th inning for the Lady Rams.

Nikki Madden picked up the victory by working 5 innings of 5-hit ball. Sojo went 4-for-4 with a 2-run homer at the plate, Taylor Lee Phillips finished 2-for-2, Jennifer Gomez went 3-for-3 and Pimentel went 2-for-3 with a 3-run homer.
