CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — Don't look now, but Lady Tigers Softball is on a seven-game winning streak and solidified its spot in third place in the MSC today with a doubleheader sweep of Cumberland, 9-1 and 11-3, at Veterans Memorial Park.

The sweep returned a blemish that Cumberland inflicted on CU (33-15, 20-10 MSC) back on March 12 when the Bulldogs pulled a sweep of their own in Lebanon, Tenn.

Cumberland (28-15-1, 14-12 MSC) slipped to fifth place. Rio (24-13, 16-10 MSC) remains tied in the loss column with Campbellsville, but the RedStorm has 12 conference games remaining, six of them with the MSC's top two teams, Lindsey Wilson and Georgetown. CU has six conference games remaining.

CU got a seven-hitter from Victoria Decker (13-8) and nearly doubled up on Cumberland in the hit (13-7) department.

Decker was dealing with a unlit stick of dynamite in the first four innings, stranding five Bulldogs while allowing five hits. Cumberland finally dented the scoreboard in the fifth frame on Jessica Roper's RBI single.

But CU was leading 3-0 at the time, having scored one run in the third and two more in the fourth. Kate Black scored on Shelby Ray's infield out in the third. Pinch runner Kennedy Shutter scored on a misplayed grounder in the fourth and Brittany Rippy's single scored Erin Benton.

Then in the fifth and sixth, CU closed the inning-shortened win.

A two-out walk to Sara Paragon led way for Adrean Jordan's two-run homer and then in the sixth CU used five hits to score its winning runs.

Reagan Kingrey had a leadoff pinch hit single and the flood gates opened from there. Erin Benton and Ray singled to load the bases. Kingrey would score on a wild pitch and Heather Oakley's shallow single down the right field line ended the game.

Courtney Maynard (15-8) was the loser of game one.

In game two, Campbellsville used small ball to set up the long ball as five home runs led the way for the Lady Tigers.

CU took a 3-0 lead into the top of the fourth after Ray scored in the first on two Bulldog errors. Then Rippy hit a two-run home run in the second with Kate Black aboard.

CU starter Taylor Wroe (14-2) got into trouble in the fourth when she served up a two-run homer to Emily Nicholson and an RBI double by Katelynn Stoll.

That's when the lumberjacks showed up. Campbellsville loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth on Erin Benton's safety and bunt singles by Black and Markie Smith. With one out, Kristin Benton emptied the sacks with a grand slam and then Oakley and Paragon followed her with solo shots.

The Lady Tigers closed the game in the sixth when Kristin Benton hit her fourth home run in as many games and Benton's sister, Erin singled home Oakley.

Wroe allowed only five hits in her six-inning stint in the circle. Cumberland's Jessica Lozano (7-3) absorbed the loss.

CU goes on the road Friday, April 18 for a 1 p.m. doubleheader at St. Catharine.
