The Lady Tigers pounded out a combined 26 hits in the two shutout wins, pushing their season mark, and league-leading record, to 30-7, 15-1 MSC.
GAME 1: Campbellsville 15, Pikeville 0
Campbellsville played 17 players and used a 16-hit attack to subdue Pikeville in the first game of the doubleheader.

CU sent 12 batters to the plate and collected six hits while capitalizing on three UPIKE errors.
Victoria Decker (16-4) picked up the win with three innings of one-hit ball before relinquishing the circle to Morgan Gailor. Gailor gave up two hits, both in the bottom of the fifth when the Bears loaded the bases — the only three runners Pikeville left stranded.
The Lady Tigers scored two runs in the third when Madison Mudd, who tripled to lead off the frame, scored on a passed ball. Brianna Scott's double scored Shelby Ray.
A four-run fifth was highlighted by run-scoring hits by Kennedy Shutter (RBI), Smith (2 RBI) and Katelyn Merritt (RBI).
