CENTRAL, S.C. - In unorthodox fashion the Newberry softball team picked up a pair of victories at Southern Wesleyan, edging the Warriors 3-2 in 10 innings before scoring nine runs in the sixth inning of game two to top SWU 13-4 at Varsity Field.

With the victories the Wolves improve to 17-22 on the season. Newberry returns to South Atlantic Conference action on Wednesday when the Wolves travel to Anderson.

Game One: Newberry 3, Southern Wesleyan 2 (10 innings)
Sophomore Jennifer Yancey (Dunwoody, Ga.) ripped her fourth home run of the season as the Wolves edged Southern Wesleyan in extra innings 3-2.

The Warriors struck first scoring one run in the third, before the Wolves countered with a run of their own in the top of the sixth inning as Yancey homered to right field.

Neither team was able to their offense going until the top of the tenth inning when the Wolves finally broke through. With sophomore Paige Brugh (Indian Land, S.C.) beginning the inning at second base, freshman Summer Bartek (Jefferson, Ga.) singled to right putting runners on the corners. After the first out of the inning was recorded, junior Brittany Phillips (Pacolet, S.C.) singled home Brugh as Bartek advanced to second. With two on and two outs, sophomore Shelby Holland (Charlotte, N.C.) singled to center scoring Bartek.

The Wolves were held to just two runs, but it was freshman pitcher Caitlyn Smith (Palm Harbor, Fla.) who kept the Warriors to just one run in the bottom of the tenth to pick up her second win of the season.

Game Two: Newberry 13, Southern Wesleyan 4 (6 innings)
Yancey and sophomore Lindsey Workman (Aiken, S.C.) both tallied three hits as the Wolves took advantage of five SWU errors in a 13-4 six inning victory.

Newberry opened the scoring in game two when Holland tripled to left field before stealing home for the game's first run.

The Warriors countered with two runs in the bottom of the first to take an early 2-1 lead.

After a scoreless second inning, Newberry tied the game up when with two outs Yancey doubled to left, before scoring on a single by Holland. The Warriors regained the lead in the bottom of the inning when SWU added a single run.

Again Newberry would take a one run lead when freshman pinch hitter Jada Crocker (Gaffney, S.C.) singled to left to open the fifth. After Crocker was forced out at second on a fielder's choice by junior Gwenell Crawford (Yulee, Fla.), a single by Yancey would put runners on first and second.

An error would allow both Crawford and Yancey to advance an extra base, before both scored on a throwing error by SWU's right fielder after the initial error was recovered by the Warriors.

The two Newberry runs in the top of the fifth were met by a single SWU run, which tied the game at 4-4.

It was in the sixth inning with two outs that Newberry would open the game up. Workman led off the frame with a double, and would advance to third on a one-out single by junior Shelley Jeffcoat (Lexington, S.C.). A two-out fielding error by the Warriors saw Workman score and Phillips reach first, with Jeffcoat on second.

Yancey followed with a single, which loaded the bases. A dropped fly ball by the SWU shortstop during Holland's plate appearance would score Jeffcoat and Phillips, while allowing Yancey to reach third. Holland would steal second before both her and Yancey would score on a single to center by junior Ashley Roof (Columbia, S.C.).

Junior Kaylyn Camacho (Tampa, Fla.) singled to left to put runners on first and second, which was followed by a single by Workman that scored Roof. Bartek followed with a triple to right scoring both Workman and Camacho. The final Newberry run of the game came as Bartek scored, while Jeffcoat reached on a throwing error.
