AUGUSTA, Ga. - Augusta State split a non-conference doubleheader Wednesday afternoon with Catawba at Jaguar Field.

In game one, Catawba's Carly Tysinger struck out seven and allowed only a pair of hits while going the full 7.0 innings for a 3-1 victory.

The Indians grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning and added two more in the fourth. The Jags' lone run came on an RBI-double in the fourth from Macy Terry.

ASU freshman lefty Haley Birkle yielded only four hits in 7.0 innings with one strikeout and a pair of walks. No player for either team had more than one hit.

In game two, the Jags pounced on Catawba starter Emily B. Huneycutt for three first-inning runs and claimed a 9-5 victory.

ASU sophomore Brooke Stephens drove in a run on an infield single. Lauren Yeargan then stole home and a Erika Burkhart two-out single plated Stephens for a 3-0 lead. Huneycutt couldn't escape the first inning and Indians' reliever Tysinger didn't fare much better.

Jags' senior Laura Brown led off the second with a single to left and stole second. Senior Lauren Yeargan then slapped a double to chase home Brown before Terry launched a 3-run homer to left and force the Indians' second pitching change in as many innings.

ASU sophomore Molly Walton knocked a solo homer to right in the sixth and Catawba got two mammoth home runs from Emily D. Huneycutt, who went 2-for-3 with four RBI.
