AUSTIN, Texas – The Concordia Texas softball team delivered a dominant performance at home, sweeping Centenary College in a doubleheader at Roberts Family Field. CTX secured an 8-0 victory in six innings in game one before closing the day with a 9-0 win in five innings in the nightcap. 

Concordia's pitching staff kept the Ladies off the scoreboard across both contests, completing the doubleheader sweep in convincing fashion. Junior Kylie Kirk struck out nine batters and homored in game one.

Game One: W, 8-0 (6 Innings)

The Tornados wasted no time getting on the board in the first inning as Kirk doubled to left field to plate Malarie Mican and give CTX a 1-0 lead.

Concordia continued to apply pressure in the second as Mican reached on a fielder's choice, driving in another run to make it 2-0.

The third inning broke things open, with Mia Post lifting a sacrifice fly before Karlee Mathis delivered an RBI single. A sacrifice fly from Aliyah Perez capped a three-run frame and stretched the lead to 5-0.

Mathis added another RBI in the fifth with a groundout to shortstop, pushing the advantage to six. Kirk put the finishing touches on the run-rule victory in the sixth, blasting a two-run homer to right center to seal the 8-0 win.

Game Two: W, 9-0 (5 Innings)

CTX erupted for seven runs in the opening inning of game two and never looked back.

Kirk once again set the tone, doubling to right center and driving in two runs before Post followed with an RBI single. Kamryn Kothman and Christian Everett each delivered RBI doubles, and Mican added another run-scoring single to cap the explosive first inning.

The Tornados added two more in the third, taking advantage of a Centenary error to extend the lead to 9-0.
