FLORENCE, S.C. – The Barton College softball team (7-7) swept Francis Marion (4-8), 6-1 and 6-4, on the road in a doubleheader between two regional foes Wednesday at Patriots Stadium.

Game One – Barton 6, Francis Marion 1
Barton senior first baseman Jordan Blake (Jackson Springs, N.C.) hit a two-run home run as part of a four-run first inning to help the Bulldogs take control on their way to the victory.

Barton senior outfielder Morgan Shirley (Greenville, N.C.) added a two-run single in the fifth frame to round out the scoring for the visitors and finished with three hits while freshman Rilee Jones (Virginia Beach, Va.) (4-2) notched the complete game victory.  Jones allowed just one run while striking out seven batters.

For Francis Marion, Katie Smith (Greenwood, S.C.) drove in a run while Janecia Hemmingway (Conway, S.C.) fell to 0-4 after taking the loss.

Game Two – Barton 6, Francis Marion 4
Barton senior catcher Kelsey Carroll (Lake Waccamaw, N.C.) broke a one-all tie with the game-winning, RBI single while Blake followed with a grand slam as part of a five-run seventh inning to lead the Bulldogs to the sweep.

Barton sophomore AnnaKate Gilchrist (Clayton, N.C.) (2-5) won her second straight contest and sophomore Shelby Talley (Oxford, N.C.) registered the final three outs for the save as the Bulldogs completed the sweep.  Francis Marion's Addie May (Vale, N.C.) finished with a pair of hits and an RBI while Taylor Florea (Blanchester, Ohio) (2-3) took the setback.
