WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – N.C. Wesleyan delivered 21 hits, including eight extra-base knocks, to earn a doubleheader sweep of Salem by scores of 8-0 (5 innings) and 13-1 at Blixt Field on Saturday afternoon. 

The Battling Bishops had five doubles in the second game of the series after notching a double and a home run in the first game. 

Salem's offense struggled to find its rhythm, combining for five hits in both games. Three of those hits came in game two and among those was a base hit to left by Emma Greeson, which scored Rheanne Tullock from third base. Another key in the offense was NeVaeha George, who finished with two hits, including a double in game one. 

Riley Dennis, who entered the circle for the Spirits in both games, fanned three Battling Bishop hitters in game one  before making one strikeout in game two of the series. Teammate Carmen Duffey fanned two as the game two starter for Salem.
