Spartans Win Series Over Howard After Sunday Sweep

NORFOLK, Va. – Two Norfolk State pitchers combined for a three-hit shutout in game 1, and the Spartan softball team won the weekend series over Howard with a win in game 2 on Sunday afternoon at the NSU Softball Field.
 
The teams split a doubleheader on Saturday, but NSU had none of that on day 2. Sophomores Alexis Robinson and Kirsten Greene limited the Bison in a 6-0 win in the first contest. Junior Brooke Bond's three-run double put NSU ahead for good in the second game, won by the Spartans by a 6-3 margin.
 
They improved to 10-12 overall on the season and 3-5 in the MEAC. Bond also drove in three runs in the first game to complete a stellar weekend.
 
Junior Denisha Megginson drove in a pair of runs in the first contest when she hit a two-run double in the fourth for a 4-0 lead. Bond had driven in a run in the first, and senior Tuli Iosefa hit a sacrifice fly in the third before Megginson's hit an inning later.
 
Bond followed with a solo home run in the fifth and a bases-loaded walk in the sixth for the final six-run margin. Robinson (2-5) allowed all three Bison hits in five innings, and Greene pitched two hitless innings in relief.
 
Sophomore Imani Moore and freshman Kerris Cameron each had two hits in the game 1.
 
Junior Joana Holland (1-0) got the win in the second game, allowing three hits and three runs, one earned, in five innings of work.
 
The Bison led 3-0 after scoring two runs in the first and another run in the third. But Bond helped end that deficit in the bottom of the third.
 
Megginson hit a sac fly to score senior Jazzmaine Hammond, who had hit a bunt single to start the frame. Cameron singled, Dixon got hit by a pitch for the third time on the day, and Moore hit one into left to load the bases. Bond then delivered with a bases-clearing double to straight away center field for a 4-3 lead.
 
Vaughan hit an RBI double in the sixth, and Hammond added a sac fly later in the inning for a pair of insurance runs. Greene pitched the last two innings of the game for the save, again not giving up a hit.
 
Howard fell to 9-8 overall and 2-6 in the MEAC.
 
NSU will head to North Carolina A&T next Saturday and Sunday for a four-game, non-conference series.
