Royals Swept By #12 Virginia Wesleyan

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – The Royals softball team went to the beach on Wednesday, but strictly for business as they took on the 12th ranked Marlins of Virginia Wesleyan.

In game one, it was VWU getting the best of the EMU, 6-0, while in game two, the Marlins starting pitching was strong, holding EMU scoreless in an 8-0 win.

  • In the second, Braxten Jones led off with a walk, Emerson Adkins singled and Natalye Graham walked to load the bases, but a popout and a strikeout ended the threat.
  • Samantha Hensley led off the third with a single, but was erased on a double 4-6-3 double play. VWU was able to add to their lead in the bottom of the third, scoring a run on a wild pitch for a 4-0 lead. In the fourth, Cyzick was able to work out of a jam as Grace Fravel threw a runner out at home and Cyzick induced a popout.
