Hammond, La. -- Senior Morgan Mikulin doubled and hit a solo home run and threw her third complete game of the weekend as Sam Houston defeated Southeastern Louuisiana 7-0 to complete a Southland Conference softball series sweep of the Lions Sunday.
The sweep was the Bearkats' third in league action this year. The victories up the softball team to 18-25 for the season and 10-13 in Southland play.
Mikulin picked up the shutout by spreading seven hits over seven innings. The right-hander threw in all 19 innings during the series.
The Bearkats jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the second inning as Mikulin doubled and scored on an error, Shelbi Tucker brought in another run on a single and Amy Brown posted a two-run single.
Mikulin's solo home run came in the second inning. Callie Wood, Mandy Gegen and Tiffani Woodrum all singled to load the bases in the fourth inning. Hailey Wiginton picked up an RBI when she was hit by a pitch.
A bases loaded walk by Erin Burford in the seventh inning brought in the final run.
Sam Houston will wrap up regular season play with a pair of home series against Central Arkansas and Nicholls the next two weekends. The Central Arkansas series begins with a 12 noon doubleheader Saturday.
