ST. AUGUSTINE − Flagler College benefitted from some poor defensive play by Florida Southern College as it swept a non-conference softball doubleheader Saturday afternoon at Saints Field. Flagler won the opener 8-0 in five innings, due to the mercy rule, and then took the second game 6-4.

Flagler raised its record to 14-0 while Florida Southern fell to 2-2.

In the opener, the Moccasins committed three errors which led to four unearned runs. That would be more than enough run support for Flagler pitcher Kelly Riddick (Hampton, Fla., Central Florida CC) (7-0) who went the distance and scattered four hits and struck out four batters. She only allowed two base runners to reach scoring position.

The Saints scored all the runs they would need in the first inning. Lauren Ely (Winter Springs, Fla., Winter Springs HS) hit a one-out single to center, stole second, and scored on Alona Personius' (Lake Stevens, Wash., Florida State College-Jacksonville) double to center.

Flagler added two runs in the second, both scored on Lauren Bessent's (Jacksonville, Fla., Trinity Christian Academy) triple. The Saints plated five in fourth.

Six different Flagler players recorded hits. Breezy Collings (Orange City, Fla., Brevard CC) hit a double.

Christine Clark (2-1) took the loss in the circle for the Mocs. She lasted 3.2 innings, allowed six hits, one earned run and struck out two. Four different Florida Southern players singled.

In the second game, three more Moc errors led to three unearned runs. Two of those unearned runs proved to be costly as it provided the winning runs for the Saints.

Flagler held a 3-1 lead going into the bottom third inning. Collings led off the inning by reaching on a fielding error by the shortstop. Brittany Simmons (Ocala, Fla., Chattanooga State Tech CC) hit a two-out single to move pinch runner Kaycee Lisa (Seminole, Fla., Seminole HS) to second and then both runners advanced a base on a wild pitch. Katelyn Guinsler (Williston, Fla., Central Florida CC) knocked in both runs with a double to right-center.

Collings singled home Personius, who had doubled in the previous at bat, for an insurance run in the fourth.

Florida Southern mounted a comeback by scoring twice in the fifth and one more time in the sixth. The Mocs had runners at second and third with two outs in the sixth, but pinch hitter Kianna Murphy struck out.

Kalyn Loverich (St. Johns, Fla., Bartram Trail HS) (7-0) tossed a complete game and scattered eight hits, allowed one earned run and struck out a season-high nine batters.

Seven different Flagler players recorded a hit with Bessent getting one of the doubles by the Saints.

Morgan Brown (0-1) went 3.2 innings, surrendered six hits and three earned runs. Erin Foley singled twice and scored a run. Brittany Martin singled twice, scored a run and drove in another. Dani Blake also singled twice.

Flagler hosts Northwood University of West Palm Beach tomorrow (Feb. 20) at 1 p.m. at Saints Field.
