MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Valdosta State softball team scored in nine out of their 12 innings played on Saturday afternoon in Memphis, Tenn. to outscore Christian Brothers 24-2 in a pair of 12-1 Gulf South Conference victories.

Junior leadoff hitter Jessica Mohl and senior cleanup hitter Hayley Cruthers teamed up for 13 hits in 18 plate appearances to pace the Blazers' incredible offensive output on the day. Mohl delivered two doubles, a triple, seven runs, and two RBI's over the course of the two games, while Cruthers tore the cover off the ball with two homers, two doubles, five RBI's, and four runs scored.

The rest of the Blazer offense followed suit throughout the day for 32 hits. Chelsea Canara took the conference lead in runs batted in (21) with a homer and five RBI's on the day, and Taylor Hartenbach muscled up for the first home run of her career in game two to go along with two doubles in game one.
