LeTourneau picked up a pair of wins against Concordia Texas on Friday night to kick off a three-game American Southwest Conference series. The Jackets used a big third inning in game one to run-rule the Tornados, 10-2. They would follow that with a shutout 4-0 win in the final game of the night.
 
LETU took advantage of the Tornados errors to bring nine runs across in the third inning on six hits. Sophomore Macey Mize had a productive inning as she recorded two RBI singles in her two at bats in the inning. Senior Kaitlyn Allen added to the inning by hitting a single up the middle to bring home two runs.
 
The YellowJacket offense was lead by Macey Mize and senior Whitney Judd who both went 2-for-3 in game one. Mize picked up two RBIs and scored one run to go with her third-inning singles. Judd logged a couple of singles to go with her RBI and two runs.
 
Faith Genoway had another outstanding performance in the circle as she allowed just two runs on one hit and struck out five. The sophomore right-hander improves to 3-4 on the season.
 
In game two, the YellowJackets shut out the Tornados 4-0. A hot first-inning for the Jackets provided the momentum for the game when they brought three runs across.
 
Judd reached on an error to start off the inning and was moved into scoring position by a sacrifice bunt from senior Courtney Matulis. Mize proved dangerous at the plate once again when she hit a single to put Judd at third.
 
Freshman Shelby Barrick moved runners with her RBI double to left field, scoring Judd. The Jackets went up 3-0 when junior Bailey Woodard blasted one to right field to pick up two RBIs.
 
Junior Ashley Burdine improves to 3-5 on the season after pitching all seven innings in the shutout.  The Paris, Texas native gave up no runs on five hits after facing 26 batters.
 
The big hitters for LeTourneau in game two were Woodard and Barrick who both went 1-for-3 at the plate. Woodard picked up two RBIs and Barrick recorded one RBI and one run.
 
LETU (7-12, 3-11 ASC) locks up the series against Concordia Texas and looks to complete the sweep on Saturday. The series finale is set for 12 p.m. at the Joyce Family Athletic Village.
