Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

CLERMONT, Fla. -- In the final day of The Spring Games, the Meredith College Avenging Angels softball team cruised to a 14-4, six-inning win over the Muhlenberg Mules on 18 hits, including a trio of home runs, and finished off Wesley College 3-1 with seven more.

Brittany Bucklin, Maria Annunziata, and Eran Artigues each hit a dinger in game one, while Bucklin, Megan Tarpey, and Courtney Saunders -- twice -- advanced on a two-base hit. RBI's filled the stats with Bucklin and Artigues earning three apiece.

Taylor Jackson earned her sixth season win in the circle allowing seven hits with just one earned run and eight strikeouts. Muhlenberg's Haley Peterson took the loss with seven earned runs, two walks, and a pair of K's.

Game two versus the Wesley Wolverines started out with three error-free innings for the Angels leading to a four hit, three run series to take control of the game.

In the top of the sixth, Wesley led off with a single and moved the runners into scoring position with a double to left field. Lauren Marbrey struckout the third batter and took care of the next batter at first.

With two outs on the board and two runners on base, Wesley's Kateri Peters advanced on an infield error to score a run. Unphased with the offensive effort, Marbrey struckout the Wolverine's right fielder to get Meredith out of the inning unharmed.

The Avenging Angels' defense put away Wesley in the top of the seventh to finish of the win.

Marbrey allowed five hits with no earned runs to go along with two walks and three strikeouts for her fifth career win. Lindsay Siok registered the loss for Wesley with three earned runs in seven hits, one walk, and five strikeouts for the loss.

Meredith returns to their home field Saturday for a USA South doubleheader versus N.C. Wesleyan. The first pitch is slated for 1 p.m. Follow live video action of both games HERE. Live stats will be available for game two only.
