IRVING, Texas – With outstanding pitching from their three hurlers and some big hits in key situations, the George Fox University Bruins continued their rampage through the Lone Star State with an 8-1, 7-0 doubleheader sweep of the University of Dallas Crusaders in non-conference softball action Sunday afternoon here at Crusader Field.

Game 1 - George Fox 8, at Dallas 1

Erin Hento and Amanda Woods combined on a five-hitter and Baylee Westrick went 3-4 with a double, home run and four runs batted in as the Bruins cruised to the first-game win.  Hento threw three innings of shutout ball, spacing three hits with five strikeouts and no walks.  Woods (1-0) got the win with four innings of two-hit ball, fanning two and walking one while allowing one unearned run in the 7th.

The Bruins jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the 1st as Courtney Howard drew a bases-loaded walk, Kayla Anderson scored on an error, and Becca Olson delivered Woods with a sacrifice fly. Ashley Bunce scored on Kat Hylton's sacrifice fly in the 2nd, and Westrick capped the Bruins' scoring with a two-run homer to left in the 5th, her second of the season, and a two-run double in the 7th.

George Fox had eight hits off two Dallas pitchers, with starter Ashley Pickert (0-1) taking the loss.  In addition to Westrick's big game, Hylton was 2-3 with two runs scored, and Howard also scored twice.

Game 2 - George Fox 7, at Dallas 0

Allyssa DenDekker (2-0) threw her second straight complete game and first shutout in the nightcap, surrendering only two hits with two strikeouts and one walk.  Those were the only three runners she allowed as the George Fox defense played flawlessly, and only one runner reached second.

Felicia Chavez led off the game with the first of her two triples and scored on a single by Anderson to give the Bruins a quick advantage, and they put the game away with a six-run 4th.  Westrick drove in the first run of the frame with an RBI double, Monica Martinez drove in one with a single, then Chavez tripled with the sacks full and scored on Hylton's sacrifice fly.

Chavez and Westrick had two hits each out of the Bruins' total of nine, Westrick with a second double as well.  Chloe Campise (0-1) allowed eight hits and all seven George Fox runs in 4.1 innings to suffer the setback.

NEXT: After a day off, the Bruins (4-0), who swept Southwestern University Saturday in Georgetown, complete their Texas travels with a doubleheader at Concordia University-Austin at Old Settlers Park in suburban Cedar Park.  The first game begins at 11:00 a.m. Central time (9:00 a.m. Pacific) … Dallas (0-2) host the Southwestern Assemblies of God University Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. Central time.
