     FORT WORTH, Texas - Texas Wesleyan scored two runs in its final at-bat to win in its double-header sweep of Texas College Wednesday afternoon at Sycamore Park in Red River Athletic Conference action. The Lady Rams defeated Texas College, 7-6 in the opening game and finished off the sweep with an 8-3 victory in the second game.

     Texas College opened the scoring in the first game, pushing across three runs in the first inning. The Lady Steers had Wesleyan's help as they committed three errors during the inning that led two of the runs being unearned.

     Texas Wesleyan (21-12, 7-3 RRAC) fought back scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning. Rightfielder Tara Sharp and designated player Marie Stone both reached base with a walk. Catcher Rachel Hampton then crushed a Lady Steer's pitch deep over the left field wall to knot the score, 3-3.

     After both teams traded runs over the next few innings, the Lady Rams entered the bottom of the seventh inning, down 6-5.

     Third baseman Ariel Raley led off the inning with a double to left field. Shortstop Vanessa Urteaga walked and both runners advanced on a wild pitch. After Raley was gunned out at the plate on a fielder's choice by centerfielder Stacy Fritz, Sharp walked to load the bases. Second baseman Jessica Bancroft delivered once again, lacing a single through the left side to score Fritz and Urteaga and give the Lady Rams the victory.

     Junior Devin Blew (7-4) picked up the victory allowing four earned runs on nine hits while striking out seven hitters.

     In the second game, the Lady Steers, again started off strong, scoring two runs in the first inning off of Wesleyan starting pitcher Rachel Lamont.

     The Lady Rams cut the lead in half in the bottom of the first inning as Sharp led off the inning with home run to left field.

     The Lady Steers registered another run in the fourth inning, but Texas Wesleyan scored three runs in the fourth inning and four runs in the fifth inning to complete the doubleheader sweep.

     Lamont (5-3) notched the victory allowing two runs on six hits while walking seven and striking out nine batters.

     Texas Wesleyan will be back in action Friday when they travel to take on conference-rival College of the Southwest. The doubleheader is set to begin at 12 p.m. in Hobbs, N.M. The Lady Rams swept the Lady Mustangs in Fort Worth earlier this season.
