HUNTSVILLE -- Third baseman Jenna Emery hit home runs in both games as Texas State-San Marcos defeated Sam Houston State 4-0 and 12-3 to sweep a Southland Conference softball doubleheader at Bearkat Softball Complex Saturday afternoon.

Amy Brown and Sarah Parich singled and scored, respectively, on an RBI ground out by Alex Survant and a single by Hailey Wiginton to give SHSU three runs in the second.

In the opening game, the Bobcats jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning then added runs in the fourth and the sixth. Emory hit her solo shot in the sixth.

Brandi Crnkovic (12-12) was the loser, giving up seven hits and striking out one Bobcat.

Katie Garnett (155-5) was the winning pitcher for the Bobcats in the nightcap, spreading six hits over five innings. Morgan Mikulin (11-9) took the loss.
