Campbellsville University's softball team pounded 12 home runs over the weekend while sweeping both Pikeville and St. Catharine and running its record to 28-5-1 (12-1-1).
"Would I have thought we'd be hitting the ball the way we are going into the season ... no," said Lady Tiger softball coach
Shannon Wathen. "This is one of the best hitting teams I've had. Their off-season work is really paying off right now."

Against Pikeville 4-2, 8-0
Bailey Dillender had two homers and all four RBI in Saturday's first game against the Lady Bears.
The freshman from Lexington was also 2-2 in the second game.

Dillender is leading the team with a .505 batting average and 10 home runs.
