Owls offense quiets Quakers in another sweep

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The Kenyon College softball team continued to belt the ball around the park Sunday, racking up 23 hits in a doubleheader sweep of the Guilford College Quakers. The Owls started the day with a 5-4 win and then ended the day with a five-inning, run-rule, 10-2 shellacking.

Through six games now, the Owls (4-2) have a .405 team batting average and have posted an average of nine runs per game.

The Kenyon offense needed just one big inning in game one against Guilford. After being held scoreless for the first four innings, the Owls generated a five-run fifth inning that turned out to be the difference in the game. During that inning, the Owls rattled off six hits with RBIs coming from Keala Montgomery, Leah Schlissberg, Leah Kuban, and Brooke Avila. 

Overall, Kenyon had 11 hits in game one, with Montgomery, Kuban, and Maeve McLaughlin each chalking up two. One of Montgomery's hits was a triple, which was the 12th triple of her career and made her Kenyon's record holder in that category.

While the bats did their job, so did starting pitcher Kylie Hamm, who went the distance and improved her record to 2-1. Hamm scattered a dozen hits and managed to strand at least one Guilford runner on base every inning. She struck out three and walked one.

Guilford (3-2-1), which took an early 1-0 lead with a run in the third inning, got to Hamm for three more runs in the bottom of the sixth. Hamm, however, got out of the inning, coaxing three ground outs to leave Quakers stranded on second and third base.

In game two, Kenyon racked up 12 more hits. Montgomery had two of those and finished her day 4-for-8 with three runs scored and two RBI. White piled up three hits in game two, making her 4-for-6 with two runs and two RBI throughout the two games.

White got the scoring started for Kenyon with an RBI single in the second inning. Schlissberg and McLaughlin then added run-scoring hits in the second inning to give the Owls a 3-2 lead.

In the top of the fourth, Kenyon put together a five-run frame to take control of the game. With two outs already on the board, Peyton Green and White got things rolling with back-to-back singles. They later came around to score on a passed ball and a wild pitch. Madison Buckwalter got on base via walk and Montgomery moved her along with a single. Schlissberg then singled to bring both of them home and, one batter later, McLaughlin laced a double that scored Schlissberg.

In the fifth, White and Buckwalter drove home two more runs to give the Owls an eight-run cushion. Starting pitcher Izzy Akin then shut the door in the bottom of the fifth to close out the game.

In her five innings of work, Akin earned her first pitching win of the season by allowing just two runs on six hits and a walk.
