With the sweep, the Eagles extend their season-best winning streak to 11 games.

Bridgewater kicked off the first game with a scoring barrage in the first inning, which was capped off by Melanie Lamb's two-run shot to center field.

Following a leadoff groundout from the bat of Hillary Rees, the Eagles tallied back-to-back singles before an Angela Spinelli double opened the scoring, plating Leah Cossentino to and Emily Morris to put BC ahead 2-0.

Freshman Aven Thomas followed the Spinelli double with a RBI single to center which scored Spinelli and extended the lead to 3-0 before Lamb's two-run blast ended the scoring in the first with the Eagles ahead 5-0.

Both teams were held off of the scoreboard through the next two innings until the Eagles extended their lead with a three-run fourth.

BC knocked in its first run of the frame when a Lauren Childress sacrifice fly drove in Cossentino, giving the Eagles a 6-0 advantage.

Spinelli ended the scoring for Bridgewater in the fourth with a two-run homer to left center field to push the Eagles lead to 8-0.

Bridgewater extended its lead in the fifth with another run off a pinch-hit-RBI single from Ann Komara, but the Green Terror wouldn't go down without a fight, as they tallied two runs to push the game to the sixth inning.

The two teams traded a run apiece in the sixth to put the game at a 10-3 score until the Eagles tallied an eight-run seventh inning to blow the game wide open.

Bridgewater blasted three homeruns in the seventh, including Lamb's second of the game to push the game to an 18-3 tally which is where the game would end. Lamb, Morris and Heather Jenkins each went deep for the Eagles in the inning.

Morris' 4-for-5 game at the plate lead the way for BC, while Cossentino notched a 3-for-3 game and Spinelli turned in a 3-for-4 performance. Morris and Lamb each posted four RBI a piece, while Cossentino and Spinelli each notched three-RBI games.

The Eagles extended their lead in the second when a Jenkins double plated Leigh Lam to put BC ahead 4-0.

McDaniel responded with two runs in the third to cut the Eagles lead in half at a 4-2 tally.

Bridgewater built its lead back to three runs when a Cossentino double scored junior Kristen Combs to put the Eagles ahead 5-2 after four innings.

Jenkins extended the Eagles lead in the fifth when her single to right scored Thomas to push the BC lead to 6-2 before a Rees double drove in freshman Leigh Lam and Jenkins to push the lead to 8-2 which is where the game would end, giving the Eagles the doubleheader sweep.

At the plate, Jenkins led the way with a 3-for-4 game. The freshman drove in two runs and scored once to pace the Eagles offense which tallied 35 hits on the day.
