Thomas & Lumley Spark Wesleyan Offense in Sweep at Agnes Scott

Belle Thomas and Kayla Lumley sparked the struggling Wesleyan offense with impressive performances despite Agnes Scott sweeping the Great South Athletic Conference doubleheader.

The duo both went 2-for-3 in the opener versus the Scotties (6-8, 2-6 GSAC) and scored all four Pioneer runs in the 13-4 defeat. Thomas led off the first inning with a double while Lumley then earned an infield single. Ashley Jackson and DiAsia Rodgers followed with back-to-back RBI singles to stake Wesleyan (0-20, 0-8 GSAC) an early two-run advantage. Agnes Scott responded with nine unanswered runs to take away Wesleyan's upset bid. Trish Velasco added a two-run single in the fifth inning of the opener.

Lumley's fourth inning bunt single broke up a no-hitter by the Scotties. ASC went on to an 8-0 victory.

Wesleyan returns to action tomorrow afternoon when they host Rhodes College. First pitch of the doubleheader is scheduled for Noon at the Mathews Athletic Complex.
