BOLIVAR, Mo. – The Northwest Missouri State softball team swept Southwest Baptist Friday in a double header, as they took game one, 2-0, and game two, 3-2, in nine innings.

Abbie Vitosh was in the circle for Northwest in game one and was able to silence the SBU bats from the beginning.

With Vitosh settling in for the long hull, the Northwest offense only needed a couple of runs to secure the victory.

Baylee Scarbrough ended the 0-0 tie in the top of the fourth inning with her second home run of the season, a solo shot that put her team up 1-0.

Northwest was able to add an insurance run in the top of the sixth when Chantel Adams scored on an error.

The two runs were more than enough for Vitosh, who went the distance for the complete game victory. The junior gave up only four hits and three walks, while striking out six on her way to her second win of the season.

Northwest took the lead in inning three of game two off the bat of Steph Mark who hit a two run home run to put her team up 2-0.

SBU answered back with a run of their own in the bottom half of the third inning, and tied the game up at 2-2 with a run in the fifth.

The game headed into extra innings and in the top of the ninth, Maddie Jones put her team up 3-2 with her first home run of the season.

Sarah Baldwin shut down SBU in the ninth inning one, two, three to claim the 3-2 extra inning victory. Baldwin earned the baseball version of a complete game going all nine innings as she gave up five hits, two walks and struck out nine on her way to her fourth win of 2014.

Northwest moves to 6-11, 3-5 on the season and will continue conference play Saturday as they take on Central Missouri for a double header in Warrensburg, Mo. First pitch for game one is scheduled for 1 p.m.
