MAGNOLIA – The SAU Softball team completed their sweep in a mere 70 minutes on Saturday against Henderson State; and, having already scored 12 runs in a game and shutting out the Reddies in another, it truly was the best of both world for the 25^th ranked team in the country, putting 12 runs on the board and shutting out the visitors.

The Muleriders pushed across three runs in the bottom of the first. Jaxynn Dyson led the inning off with a walk and scored on a Laina Suesue double. Faith Otts would single to put runners on the corners and Elisa Favela would ground into a fielder's choice to score the second run.

A two-out double by Christina Hill, one of two doubles for her on the day, would tally another run for the Muleriders.

Favela, who also started in the circle for the first time this season, struck out the side in the top of the second and the Muleriders would push the final nine runs they would score across in the second inning.

Makana Morton and Dyson singled to set up Suesue, who singled in Morton. Otts would draw a walk to load the bases before Favela would drive a run in on an infield single that went off the Reddies pitcher's glove.

Alese Casper singled in a run and Hill drove in a pair of runs on a double. A Reddies pitching change led to Casper scoring on the next batter after the Reddies catcher overthrew their pitcher, causing the ball to go into centerfield.

Hill advanced to third on a Sarah Evans flyout before scoring on a Maeson Grace RBI single.

The scoring would be capped by Morton, who left the yard for the first time in her Mulerider career to make the final score 12-0.

Favela picked up her first win of the season, striking out six and allowing only two hits in three innings of work. Landry Newgent worked in relief for the second game in a row, throwing two hitless innings and striking out two.

The Muleriders are 13-6 and 10-4 in conference play. They are back in action on Tuesday when they host Arkansas-Monticello in a double-header.
