CU scored two runs in the first inning on back-to-back homers by Brianna Scott and Kristin Benton and never looked back.
The Lady Tigers pounded out 19 hits in the two games and Victoria Decker (16-2) and Neeley Quint (14-3) pitched 11 shutout innings before Georgetown scored two times in the top of the seventh of game two.
Campbellsville expanded its 2-0 lead with three runs in the bottom of the third with Markie Smith doubling home two runs and Kristin Benton parking a ball to center field.
Smith collected four of the five runs scored in the fourth with a grand slam.
In game two, Kristin Benton's double scored Jacqueline Roof, and Roof collected two RBIs in the fourth when she homered with one aboard.
Smith, who had seven RBIs on the day, tripled home two more runs in the bottom of the sixth.
Big bats for the Lady Tigers came from Roof, 3-for-5 day (3 RBIs); Scott, 4-for-5 day (2 RBIs); Kristin Benton, 3-for-5 day (2 RBIs); and Smith 5-for-6 (7 RBIs).
MSC softball coaches will have a conference call early next week to determine when rained out games will be made up. CU has previously scheduled double-headers with Pikeville, St. Catharine and Cumberland that have not been played.
