ST. AUGUSTINE – Megan Barnwell and Caitlin Campbell each tossed shutouts as No. 7 (NFCA Division II Top 25) Armstrong Atlantic State University swept a Peach Belt Conference softball doubleheader from Flagler College, 1-0 and 2-0, Saturday afternoon at Flagler Field.
Flagler played its final home game and honored its nine seniors prior to the game:
Lauren Ely (Winter Springs, Fla., Winter Springs HS),
Chelsea Welch (Pensacola, Fla., Escambia HS),
Kristen Chapman (Jacksonville, Fla., Sandalwood HS),
Kaycee Lisa (Seminole, Fla., Seminole HS),
Alona Personius (Lake Stevens, Wash., Florida State College-Jacksonville),
Donna Munafo (Satellite Beach, Fla., Brevard CC),
Breezy Collings (Orange City, Fla., Brevard CC),
Sarah Albino (Adelaide, Australia, Florida State College-Jacksonville), and
Robyn Draper (Brampton, Ontario, State College of Florida).
Armstrong extends its winning streak to 11 games and improved to 37-8 overall and 13-1 in the Peach Belt. Flagler dropped to 34-14 overall and 11-7 in conference play.
In the opener, Barnwell (16-3) retired the first six batters she faced and allowed only four Flagler base runners to reach scoring position. She tossed a five-hit shutout and fanned 10 batters.
The Pirates did all of their damage in the first inning. Celia Blome was hit by a pitch to lead off the frame, and two batters later moved to third on Baillie Temples' base hit. Whitney Galloway doubled to left-center to plate Blome with the only run of the game.
Temples and Galloway each collected two hits for the Pirates.
Munafo (16-3) was victimized by a lack of run support for the second consecutive outing. She retired 11 batters in a row after Galloway's RBI double in the first. Munafo scattered six hits, allowed one run and fanned six.
Lauren Roudabush (Marengo, Ill., Marengo HS) doubled in the seventh inning for the Saints.
