Strong offense and dominant pitching lead Softball to sweep

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 LAWTON, Okla. – Cameron matched their win total from the last two seasons after sweeping the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma 8-1 and 8-0 at McMahon Field on Wednesday afternoon.

With 21 games remaining Cameron is 17-9 overall and dominated USAO in the circle and at the plate.  

In the circle Cameron's pitching staff allowed only one run and five hits.

Tara Martini went 3 for 8 at the plate with five RBI on Wednesday with Emily Nix having a career day in game one with a homer and five RBI. 

Science and Arts jumped ahead in the opening frame after getting a run off of a one out double to right field.  The Lady Drover lead was short lived through after Martini smashed her seventh homer of the season to put Cameron in front 2-1. 

Cameron plugged in three more runs in the second inning with Nix hitting a single to score a pair of runs and Misty Dooley plating Nix in off of another Aggie single.

Nix added to the Aggies' lead in the third with a homer to left center to give Cameron the 8-1 advantage.

Both teams would go silent at the plate the rest of the way with CU cruising to the win.

With the exception of a run given up in the opening frame Sam Betts (7-3) tossed a complete game and she struck out a pair of hitters.

In the nightcap Cameron jumped out in front with a pair runs in the first with Martini hitting a single score a run and Kolbee Gray hitting a ground ball to plate Martini in from third.

The Aggies added two more in the second with Macy McKay and Martini getting a RBI to give them a 4-0 lead.

After a scoreless third, the Aggie bats came alive once again in fourth with four hits and three additional runs extend their lead to seven.

Kelsey Watson flirted with a no-hitter and it would take until the fifth inning before USAO was able to get a hit off of her. 

However, this would be the Lady Drovers only hit of the day as Cameron run ruled them in the sixth inning with Sonora Zukerman hitting a double down the line to score Martini in for the win.

Watson (8-5) tossed a complete game with a six strikeouts.

Cameron will return to Lone Star Conference action with a pair of doubleheaders starting on Friday against Angelo State.
