FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- Emory & Henry swept a softball doubleheader from Methodist on Sunday afternoon at Price Field.
 
Tiffany Cole tossed a two-hit shutout in the opener to lead the Wasps (3-3) to a 3-0 victory, and E&H took advantage of a number of MU (2-12) fielding miscues in the nightcap for a 9-0 win in six innings.
 
In the opener, Cole allowed just two hits and two walks a pair of strikeouts to improve to 2-1 on the season. She didn't allow a hit until Aly Thomas' single in the fifth inning.
 
E&H went up 2-0 in the second on a sacrifice fly by Leah Elswick and an RBI double by Amanda Whitlow. In the fifth, Thomas' single followed a walk to Lindsey Champion, giving MU runners on first and second with nobody out. However, a lineout by Olivia Rust turned into a double play and Emily Hester flew out to end the inning.
 
Hester took the loss in the circle for MU, allowing three runs on nine hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 7.0 innings. Samantha Jacobs was 1 for 3 with a walk and a triple for the Monarchs.
 
Caley Hodge led the Wasps at the plate, going 3 for 3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored.
 
In the nightcap, the Wasps capitalized on nine MU errors in the field which led to five unearned runs. Emily Kendrick improved to 1-2 with a four-hit shutout for E&H. She did not walk a batter and struck out seven in 6.0 innings. Chloe Hespeler took the loss, giving up seven runs (2 ER) on eight hits in 4.1 innings. Thomas pitched the final 1.2 innings and gave up two runs on four hits.
 
Hodge and Elswick each had a pair of base hits, and Holly Britt drove in a pair of runs.
 
Jessica Orwick was 2 for 2 for the Monarchs, and Hespeler and Hannah Key each had one base hit.
 
Methodist is back on the field on Wednesday when it hosts Barton in a doubleheader beginning at 2:00 pm.
