SEAHORN’S GRAND SLAM LIFTS HSU TO DOUBLE-HEADER SWEEP OF SNU

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

Keirsten Seahorn's grand slam in the seventh-inning lifted Henderson State to a double-header sweep of Southern Nazarene, Friday in Bethany, Okla.

Henderson State, 23-7 overall and 14-4 of the Great American Conference, won the opener 13-10 before winning game two 4-3. The Reddies have won 12 of their last 13 games and are in first-place in the GAC standings.

After scoring 13 runs in the opener, the Reddies struggled to score runs in game two leaving 10 runners on base.

Trailing 3-0 going into the top of the seventh, Tricia Hock hit a one-out single to get the inning started for the Reddies.

Amy Halter kept the inning going with a single with Sarah Gipson reaching on a walk to load the bases.

Seahorn would then take a Kayla Wyatt pitch over the left field fence to put the Reddies on top 4-3. It was Seahorn's fourth home run of the year.

Ali Hargis would pitch the final two innings in relief of Ashlyn White to pick up the win and improve to 4-0 on the year.

In game one, the Reddies scored in each of the first six innings including five runs in fifth-inning to open the series with a win.

Henderson State built a 7-3 lead with Gipson having a solo home run in the first and Morgan South supplying a two-run blast in the second-inning.

The Reddies manufactured two runs in the third and two more in the fourth on a Seahorn two-run single.

Southern Nazarene rallied to take the lead in the fourth-inning scoring five runs to take an 8-7 advantage.

The Reddies would then put together six hits in the fifth-inning, scoring five runs take a 12-8 lead.

White started things with a double to left-center field, followed by three straight singles by Destiny Garza, Caroline Cullins, and Hock.

Amy Halter would plate a run with a double down the left field line, with Gipson driving home a run on a base hit followed by Seahorn scoring another run when she grounded out to shortstop.

Hannah Bender pitched the final 3 2/3 innings in relief to pick up her first win of the year.

The Reddies totaled 22 hits on the day with Halter going 4-for-7 with four runs scored.

White and Cullins had three hits each, with Seahorn also having three hits including eight runs batted in.

The two teams will complete the four-game series with a double-header Saturday at Noon.
