HUNTSVILLE — Sam Houston used the long ball to sweep a nonconference doubleheader against Texas A&M-Commerce on Tuesday at Bearkat Softball Complex.
Â
The Bearkats (11-13) dropped the Lions 8-2 thanks to three home runs in game one before blasting three solo shots in game two for a 3-0 victory.
Â
Sam Houston will return to Conference USA action this weekend when New Mexico State comes to town for a three-game set. Game one is scheduled for Friday at 6:30 p.m.

Ellie Grill broke a scoreless tie in the third with a solo home run as the Bearkats completed the doubleheader sweep with a 3-0 win in game two on Tuesday.
Â
Sam Houston put the game out of reach in the sixth with two more runs. Allie Saville matched Grill with her second solo blast as Tricia Yarotsky followed with a one-run shot, which was also her second on the day.
Â
Starting pitcher Amy Abke was solid in the circle, allowing only two hits in seven innings with five strikeouts to move to 4-3 on the season. She got into some trouble in the sixth when Commerce got a pair of runners on with two outs but was able to coax the next hitter into fouling out to end the threat.

The Bearkats gave up a run in the first inning in game one, but that lead didn't last long.
Â
Ellie Grill tied it at 1 with a solo home run to lead off the the bottom of the inning, and Sam Houston took the lead for good on a sacrifice fly by Morgan Holliday in the third.
Â
Tricia Yarotsky blew the game open in the fourth. She ripped a three-run home run to centerfield as the Kats took a commanding 5-1 advantage.
Â
The Lions cut it to 5-2 with a run in the fifth only to see Sam Houston answer. Holliday came through with a solo shot this time, and Hannah Scheaffer poked an RBI single to right center field.
Â
The final run came on another solo blast, this time off the bat of Allie Saville in the sixth.
Â
Abigail Young picked up the win in the circle for the Bearkats. She improved to 3-4 on the season after tossing five innings with four strikeouts.
