DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle softball team concluded its season with a series sweep of Barry at the ERAU Softball stadium on Saturday.
 
After honoring seniors Meritxell Blesa and Mariana Pereira during pre-game ceremonies, the Eagles put on a hitting clinic in both games. Each game ended via the mercy rule. Game one ended with a bang after a three-run home run by ReAnne Drayton made it 11-1 in the sixth. An RBI single by Maggie Scott ended game two by a score of 10-2. ERAU (26-19, 17-13 SSC) outscored Barry (13-40, 6-24 SSC) 29-5 in the series sweep.
 
The Eagles jumped out to an early lead in game one. ERAU jumped out to a 2-0 lead after RBI singles from its pair of seniors. Michy Ramos made it 4-0 with a two RBI single.
 
In the second inning, the Eagles added to their lead with an RBI single from an RBI double from Katy Thompson.
 
Lisa Hop followed Jayla Jackson's lead from yesterday, tossing a gem of her own in the circle. The sophomore allowed one earned run on just three hits with four strikeouts.
 
Savannah Brockenbrough's sac fly made it a 7-1 game after the fifth. Hop started the bottom of the sixth with a double down the left field line. Pereira scored her with a single up the middle. Thompson followed with a single of her own, which set the table for Drayton's second home run of the week as the Eagles won 11-1.
 
ERAU totaled 15 hits in game one. Thompson and Ramos led with three hits each. Drayton, Scott, Blesa and Pereira tallied two hits each. Drayton finished with three RBIs, while Ramos and Pereira added two of their own.
 
Barry tried to turn the tables by taking a 1-0 lead to start game two. Unfortunately for the Buccaneers, defensive lapses allowed the Eagles to answer in the bottom of the first. ERAU plated five runs on four hits and two errors in the first frame.
 
The Eagles scored three more runs in the third after a wild pitch and a two-run double from Scott, making it an 8-1 game. In the bottom of the fourth, the Eagles had Pereira on third. Blesa sent a deep fly ball that allowed her fellow senior to make it a 9-1 game. The Buccaneers scored a run in the top of the fifth to try to avoid the mercy rule.
 
Walks from B Limon and Brockenbrough started the bottom of the fifth. Lia Johnson pinch ran for Limon and took third base. This set up Scott for the game-ending RBI single as the Eagles won 10-2.
 
Scott went 2-for-4 at the plate with three RBIs. Blesa tallied two RBIs in her last game as an Eagle. Pereira also went out on a high note, going 1-for-3 with two runs. Jayla Jackson picked up her 15th win of the season, tossing a complete game in the circle.
 
Today's games marked the end of ERAU's season. The Eagles finished the year with their sixth-straight winning season and their fifth consecutive season with at least 25 wins. The Blue and Gold placed sixth in the Sunshine State Conference.
