CLEARWATER, FLA. - The Drake University softball team swept its two-game Sunday ledger at the USF Under Armour Invitational, earning a 6-1 victory over New Mexico State in the early game and taking a 4-0 win over Long Island in the nightcap.

Pitching ruled the day for the Bulldogs, as juniors Jenna DeLong (Dalton Gardens, Idaho) and Brynne Dordel (Chanhassen, Minn.) combined to allow a single, unearned run and just eight hits in the two victories. DeLong opened the day allowing four hits and the unearned run while striking out six in a complete game, 6-1 victory over the Aggies. Dordel notched her third shutout of the season with a four-hit, nine-strikeout, complete game effort in the 4-0 nightcap win over Long Island.

Both pitchers stand at 6-3 on the season.

Offensively, freshman Lindsey Vande Wall (Prairie City, Iowa) drove in four on the day, including three with a fifth-inning three-run shot to centerfield against New Mexico State. Sophomore Torey Craddock (Tucson, Ariz.) scored the first Bulldog run of the day on a second-inning solo shot against the Aggies, then crossed the plate in the sixth against Long Island on a two-run shot by junior Erin Mollohan (Tinley Park, Ill.).

Mollohan had four hits on the day.

The pair of wins put Drake at 12-6 overall.

The Bulldogs meet South Florida Tuesday in a doubleheader starting at 4 p.m. Central Time.
