MURFREESBORO – Chowan University’s softball team upped their record to 24-16 overall and 6-1 in the CIAA here Saturday after sweeping a doubleheader from Elizabeth City State University.

Senior pitcher Kayla Robins pitched a no hitter and struck out 10 batters in a 23-0 game-one rout while freshman Shelby Griffis pitched a perfect game in an 8-0 game two win.

The Hawks pounded out 17 hits as a team with six players garnering multiple hit games. Brook Bowen and Brittany Parsons ended game-one going 2-for-2, Bowen with a home run and three runs batted in while Tina White was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate.  Danielle Baccus went 2-for-3 with four runs batted in while Emily Stafford went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two runs batted in and Katrina Simmons ended game-one with three runs scored and three RBI.

Robins pitched her way to her 15^th win of the season and her second no hitter of the year. She struck out 10 Lady Vikings in a short five innings of work.

Griffis pitched a perfect game, the first of the season and first of her college career, in an 8-0 second game win. The last time a CU pitcher threw a perfect game was March 2016 when Audrey Hubbard shut down Livingstone College in a CIAA cross divisional game.

The Hawks tallied eight hits as a squad with Simmons leading the way with a 2-for-3 plate performance while Baccus was 1-for-2 with a two run home run.

Elizabeth City State fell to 1-17 on the year and 0-5 in the CIAA after Saturday’s losses.

The Hawks will hit the field at home one last time this season Saturday, April 8, when Virginia State University comes to town for a CIAA Northern Division match up. These games will also serve as Senior Day for six Chowan seniors.
