CLEVELAND, Ga. - Faulkner (8-1) iced former conference foe Truett McConnell (9-6) 2-0 in Game 1 of this afternoon's doubleheader before inching its way into the sweep with a 4-3 decision in the nightcap here this afternoon.

Caity Jo Lee put the Lady Eagles on the board in the top of the second inning of the opener when she blasted the team's first homer of the season over the wall in left field.

Faulkner rounded out scoring on a passed ball in the seventh frame.

Emma Cornell (3-0) remained unbeaten in the circle after allowing just four hits in the complete game shutout. The senior lefty had two strikeouts.

A Dakota Berry RBI single in the second inning of Game 2 put the Lady Eagles in a brief lead, but the Bears answered in the bottom of the same frame with a hit batter in a bases-loaded situation.

The visitors added a pair of runs to the total on as many errors in the third, but the home team countered with a run each in the fourth and fifth innings to force the contest into a stalemate.

Hannahlee Harris had the remedy in the top of the sixth, however, when she drove in the go-ahead run with a single to left-center field.

Tori Davis surrendered three earned runs on seven hits over the opening four innings of play from the circle.

Caitlin Perry (4-0) pocketed the win after allowing three hits over the final three innings of play.

Lee was 2-for-2 in Game 1.

Kendall Bennett was 2-for-3 in the second contest and Shelby Brown went 2-for-4. Both players scored.

Faulkner will next enter the Gulf Shores Invitational beginning on March 2. Opponents and games times have yet to be determined.
