Thomas Piles Up 7 Hits in Regular Season Finale

Despite seven hits from Belle Thomas in her final regular season home games, Spelman College swept Wesleyan College in a doubleheader 16-15 and 13-7.

Defensive lapses sabatoged the day's efforts as the Pioneers committed 20 errors in the two games combined. The struggles overshadowed several notable showings at the plate.

In game one, Ashley Jackson drove in four runs with a pair of doubles while Toni Butler finished 3-for-4 with three RBI. Wesleyan built a 9-4 advantage before the Jaguars used a six-run fourth inning to take control.

In the nightcap, a fast start from Spelman resulted in a 10-run first inning that put the Pioneers in a hole they could not recover from. Thomas dominated the second game for Wesleyan by going 4-for-5 and driving in four runs.

The Pioneers return to action next weekend when they host the Great South Athletic Conference Softball Championship at the Mathews Athletic Complex.
