Late Homers Power HPU to Sweep

Howard Payne University used late home runs in each game to break ties as the Jackets swept a doubleheader at Schreiner, 4-2 and 7-6.

In the first game on Saturday, Schreiner (3-9 in ASC) erased a 2-0 deficit in the fifth inning.  A based-loaded walk by junior Patsy Toman and RBI single by junior Autumn Vara tied the score at 2-2.  It stayed that way going into the top of the seventh when HPU's Ashley Silva hit a two-run home run and the Jackets (3-4 in ASC) had a 4-2 win.

In the second game, SU errors gave Howard Payne 3-0 lead in the first.  The Mountaineers scored two runs in the first and added four more over the next two innings to take a 6-3 lead.  Howard Payne rallied to even the score in the sixth.

Again, a home was the deciding run.  This time, Cory Lee hit a solo shot in the top of the sixth to break the tie and win, 7-6.

Vara led Schreiner's offense with four hits on the day.  Vara, junior Tara Gonzales and freshman Erika Hillard each had two RBI.
