COLUMBUS, Ga. - 12th ranked Augusta State stayed undefeated in Peach Belt Conference play on Sunday with a double header sweep of Columbus State. ASU won game one 3-0 and took the nightcap 9-4.

ASU hurler Sara DeMuth tossed a five-hit shutout in the opener with 14 strikeouts to lead the Jaguars to the win. She walked just one in the gem. CSU's Branigan Wix was the only Cougar player with two hits in the contest.

The Jaguars got all of their offense in the second inning. Kristen Jones led off with a walk and, after a sacrifice, came home on a Kacee Camp double. Kayla Hicks then followed with a two-run homer to right-center for a 3-0 lead.

Freshman Kelsey Gilliam took the loss for CSU, allowing four hits and the three runs in four innings of work.

Augusta broke open a tight game with five seventh-inning runs in game two. ASU had taken a 2-0 lead in the second on two hits and an error, and then extended the lead to 4-0 in the top of the fifth. Kacey Sims doubled home a run and Kacee Camp squeezed her in to give the Jaguars a four-run cushion.

CSU cut the margin in half in the bottom of the fifth. Carrie Jones and Rocky Hemmer each had infield singles to score a run and make it 4-2. That set up the seventh when the wheels came off for CSU. ASU put together six hits and took advantage of an error to build a 9-2 lead.

Brittany Leverett smacked a solo homer to right in the bottom of the seventh for CSU, and the Cougars got another run when Kori Waugh singled home Jones. Lauren Reader's groundout ended the game with two runners aboard.

CSU, now 9-16-1 overall and 0-4 in PBC play, hosts Albany State on Monday at 5 p.m. at the CSU Softball Field. ASU (22-6, 8-0) plays at West Georgia on Tuesday.
