DUE WEST, S.C. – The University of South Carolina Aiken softball team swept a pair of games at Erskine Tuesday afternoon by scores of 9-0 and 9-3.

The Pacers are now 20-8 on the season while the Flying Fleet fall to 18-10.

In the opener, head coach Jerry Snyder's team got on the board in the second inning and never looked back.

Taylor Morgan started the inning off with a walk. Taylor Allen came in as a pinch runner and promptly swiped second base. Lyndie Dorgan was hit by a pitch prior to Andrea Daring lacing a single through the right side of the infield, making it 1-0. Dorgan moved to third on the play and Daring took second on the throw.

Two batters later, Sarah Montei lifted a pitch into center field and Dorgan raced home for a 2-0 advantage.

Morgan, who started the game in the circle, continued her dominance. She retired every batter she faced through the first four frames.

In the fifth, Montei led off the stanza with a triple down the right field line. She was able to trot home as Sydney Murphy launched a two-run homer off the scoreboard 15 feet beyond the left center field fence for a 4-0 advantage.

Morgan saw her perfect game ruined with a bloop hit into shallow center field with two outs in the fifth. The next batter beat out an infield dribbler to second base, but Morgan would not allow the Flying Fleet to score.

The Pacers added five runs in the seventh inning to put the game out of reach.

Montei led off with a walk and moved to second on Murphy's single up the middle. With Samantha Chubb at the plate, Montei swiped third and came home on Chubb's infield single. Hannah Price ripped a shot that went under the shortstop's glove. The ball rolled to the wall, allowing Murphy and Chubb to race home. After a pitching change, Magan Thrower launched a two-run homer that curled over the left field wall for a 9-0 advantage.

Morgan retired the side en route to the complete-game shutout. She struck out nine and did not allow a walk in the gem.

At the plate, Murphy led the way with a three-hit performance. She and Thrower each drove in a pair of runs. Thrower, Morgan and Dorgan had two hits apiece. Murphy and Montei each crossed home twice in the win.

In the nightcap, USC Aiken got things going in a hurry. Montei led off the game with a single. With one down, Chubb blasted a shot high over the left field fence for a 2-0 edge. Price and Thrower each singled to put runners on first and second.

Allen and Samantha Peka came in as pinch runners and were able to take their time coming home when Andrea Daring roped a shot to straight-away center field for a 5-0 margin.

Daring started the offensive onslaught in the fourth inning as she singled. Karly Kinard came in as a pinch runner and scampered to second when Brielle Jungblut singled off the pitcher. Each player moved up 60 feet on a wild pitch.

Montei laced a single to center field, scoring both runners for a 7-0 lead. Price's slow roller to second base was good enough for an infield hit as Montei hustled home for the 8-0 advantage.

After Erskine extended the game with three runs in the fifth, USC Aiken got a run back in the sixth when Price lifted a sacrifice fly to left field, plating Montei.

Dorgan went four innings, picking up her third win of the season. She struck out three. Morgan came in and worked the final three stanzas, earning her first save of the season.

Chubb led the way with three hits. Montei, Price, Thrower and Daring all had two hits in the nightcap.

The Pacers return to action Friday when they play at Armstrong State at 2 p.m.
