Moniteau graduate and Slippery Rock University sophomore Cortney Claypoole helped The Rock complete a softball doubleheader sweep of visiting California (Pa.) on Tuesday.

Starting in center field in Game 2, Claypoole went 2-for-4 with a double, run scored and two batted in as SRU topped the Vulcans, 9-4.

California was leading the game, 2-1, when Claypoole laced a two-run double in the bottom of the fourth and The Rock never trailed again.

Chloe Sharman earned the pitching win with three strikeouts and two walks in a complete game.

The first game was much closer, with Adeline Nicholson’s single in the third inning scoring Megan Brown with the deciding run in a 2-1 victory.

Camie Shumaker fanned nine, walked four and allowed just the one run on five hits in seven innings to grab the win in the circle.

SRU improved to 10-13 overall and 2-0 in conference play.
