CARLINVILLE, Ill. – The Webster University softball team was back in action on Sunday when they traveled to Carlinville, Illinois, to take on the Blackburn (Ill.)

The Gorloks swept the doubleheader as they won the first game by a final score of 1-0 and the second game by final score of 6-4 to improve to 24-12-1 on the season and 11-5 in conference play.
 
The Gorloks got on the board early in this one as Alyssa Lyell hit an RBI single in the top of the first to take a 1-0 lead. They played tough defense throughout the game and were able to hold the Beavers off the board to solidify the win.

The Gorloks found themselves trailing early in the second game as the Beavers scored a run in the bottom of the first and a run in the bottom of the fourth to take an early lead. Webster would cut the lead in half in the top of the fifth, but two runs from the Beavers in the bottom of the sixth gave them a 4-1 advantage late in the game. The Gorloks answered with five runs in the top of the seventh and held the Beavers off the board to solidify the sweep.
