SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Mission University Softball picked up an AMC doubleheader sweep on Monday, defeating Southwestern College 4–0 and 9–1 at Cooper Sports Complex.

Game One: Mission 4, Southwestern 0

The Patriots opened the day with a 4–0 shutout victory, led by a dominant performance in the circle from Hailey Presley.

Presley tossed a complete-game shutout, allowing just four hits while striking out five to control the Southwestern lineup throughout.

Offensively, Mission capitalized early. Hailey Presley helped her own cause with an RBI single in the first inning, while Apryl Zeno reached and scored in the opening frame. The Patriots added to their lead in the second behind patient at-bats and timely execution, including a sacrifice fly from Courtney Merrell.

Mission finished with six hits and drew eight walks, consistently putting pressure on Southwestern pitching.

Game Two: Mission 9, Southwestern 1

The Patriots carried that momentum into game two, pulling away with a big offensive inning to secure a 9–1 run-rule victory.

Mission totaled 12 hits in the game, with production throughout the lineup. Kloe Hendrickson, Apryl Zeno, and Courtney Merrell each recorded multiple hits, while Haley Frillman, Jillian McDaniel, and Kate Potter all drove in runs during a decisive fourth inning.

In the circle, Jillian McDaniel earned the win, working four innings before Kate Potter closed out the game in relief.

Looking Ahead

The Patriots respond after dropping two games to Williams Baptist over the weekend and will look to carry this momentum forward as they host Haskell Indian Nations University in their next doubleheader.
