Jordan Clark brought home the go-ahead run with a fifth-inning RBI double to lead the Longwood University softball team to a 1-0 win over Radford University on Sunday afternoon at Lancer Field, completing a 3-0 weekend against the Highlanders.

The Lancers opened their regular season run in the Big South Conference on Saturday with a doubleheader against Radford. Longwood utilized a two-hit performance and the second career home run from Kasey Carr in game one en route to a 4-1 win. Karleigh Donovan came through in a clutch situation to lift the Lancers to a 3-2 walk-off win in the nightcap over the Highlanders.

Clark came up big with one of four Longwood hits on Sunday, as she delivered a one-out double into the gap in right center to bring home Glenn Walters for the game’s only run.

“I was just looking for something good to hit,” Clark said. “I struggled a little bit at the start of today and yesterday, so I just tried to come up with a clear mind. I got a good pitch to hit, and I was able to drive it in order to bring in the run.”

The win for the Lancers (15-8, 3-0 Big South) solidified a three-game sweep over the Highlanders (14-12, 0-3 Big South), extending Longwood’s winning streak to six games. It also marks the third time in Longwood’s Big South era that the Lancers have gotten off to a 3-0 start in conference play.

”Sometimes it’s easy to let your foot off the gas a little after you win two games, so I felt we did a nice job to match the competitive spirit that Radford had today,” said Longwood Head Coach Kathy Riley. “The biggest bright spot all weekend — I felt like in each of the three games we compartmentalized how to play each game from the beginning to the end.”

Longwood continued its dominance in the Big South, sweeping its 19th series in its six seasons in the league. In addition, the Lancers extended their winning streak over the Highlanders to 20, taking each of the 20 matchups since joining the conference prior to the 2013 season.

Four different Lancers collected hits Sunday, as Kaylynn Batten, Donovan and Jessica Smith joined Clark with a base hit apiece.

All four Longwood pitchers were worked into the game, as the group combined for the shutout and limited Radford to seven hits.

“We had a lot of good things with everybody going today,” Riley said. “The pitchers have been the strength of the team throughout the year. They’ve done a great job.”

Sydney Backstrom (6- 3) collected the win as she tossed two innings of one-hit softball in relief, retiring six of the eight batters she faced. Arleigh Wood came on to pick up her first career save, tossing a scoreless seventh while allowing two hits.

Sydney Mundell got the start in the circle, pitching two shutout innings. A day after picking up a pair of victories, Sydney Gay got in two innings of work, allowing two hits while walking three.

“Today, we decided to get all of our pitchers in the game by design,” Riley said. “Even with the score 1-0, we weren’t going to change anything. A lot of it had to do with building confidence and trust, giving each one of them an opportunity to come out and be a part of a win.”

Longwood will face host Charleston Southern University twice Saturday. The first game is set for 2 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN3.
