CARROLLTON, Ga. – The University of West Georgia softball team completed its three-game Gulf South Conference sweep of Christian Brothers on Sunday afternoon at University Field.

The Wolves belted out 17 hits in the 13-5 victory, highlighted by a pair of five-run frames and a tremendous all-around effort from Lexi Close.

The UWG senior first baseman/pitcher went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs and two RBI at the plate, while earning the win in relief behind four shutout innings of work, yielding four hits with one walk and nine strikeouts.

The performance capped off a star-studded weekend for the West Georgia standout on the heels Saturday's heroics, which included three innings of relief to earn the save in the 5-3 Game 1 win and a 4-for-4 offensive eruption with a home run and six RBI in the 15-7 nightcap of the twin bill.

In Sunday's finale, the Wolves (5-1, 3-0 GSC) overcame a 5-2 deficit with a five-run third inning on a two-run blast from Close, an RBI fielder's choice by sophomore second baseman Kristyn Nix and a run-scoring error by the Lady Bucs (0-3, 0-3).

The Wolves tacked on a single run in the fifth on an RBI sacrifice fly from senior third baseman Ashley Ellison and put the game – and series – to bed with a five-run sixth inning, highlighted by a three-run double from senior right fielder Madison Slappey.

West Georgia had six players record multiple-hit efforts, led by sophomore left fielder Chandler Mevis (3-for-3, BB, 2 runs, 2 RBI), senior designated hitter Kayla Hughes (3-for-4, 2B, 2 runs), Slappey (2-for-3, 2B, run, 5 RBI), Close (2-for-4, HR, 2 runs, 2 RBI), senior shortstop Alley Taylor (2-for-4, 2B, 2 runs) and senior center fielder Hannah Scarbrough (2-for-5, 2B, RBI).

West Georgia returns to action next weekend with a three-game road trip to face Delta State in Cleveland, Mississippi.
