ASHLAND, Va---Randolph-Macon College split a doubleheader with Lynchburg Saturday afternoon on senior day.  The Yellow Jackets earned the win in game one, 3-2, while the Hornets took game two, 4-0.

Prior to the contest, R-MC took the time to honor seniors Laura Bauer, Jordan Hunt, and Megan Shepherd for their accomplishments as a Yellow Jacket uniform.  After sweeping Randolph earlier in the week, the Class of 2012 became the winningest class in program history.  The win today was the first time this group beat Lynchburg in their careers.

This year's squad is just one win away from tying the school record for most wins in a season with 24, set in 2008.

Randolph-Macon (23-9 / 9-3 ODAC) took control with two runs in the bottom of the third.  Heather Lewis led off with a single to right field.  Two batters later, Bauer crushed a two-run homerun to left center field to give the Yellow Jackets the lead.

Lewis cruised throughout much of the game, taking a one-hit shutout into the top of the seventh before a two out error allowed Amber Ingram to tie the contest with a two-run homer to left center field.

In the bottom of the frame, Lewis would get a chance to help herself to the win, stepping the plate with one out and the bases loaded.  The junior delivered with a sacrifice fly to left field that plated Michalann Camp to win the game.

Bauer led the Jackets at the plate in game one, finishing 2-for-3 with two RBI.  Amanda Sopko added two hits in the win. 

Lewis improved to 12-3 on the season, winning her sixth straight start.  The Glen Allen, Va native pitched a complete game, allowing just two hits and no earned runs, while striking out two.

Lynchburg (16-14 / 7-3) struck first in game two and never looked back.  The Hornets took the early lead in the top of the second and added a run in the third off an RBI triple by Michaela Munday. 

LC plated two more runs in the fifth to put the game away.

Munday paced the Hornets at the dish, going 4-for-4 with two RBI.  Sharese Jarvis, Carolyn Gilbertson, and Sopko picked up the only hits of the day for R-MC.

Kelly Beard was saddled with the loss for Randolph-Macon, pitching 4.1 innings while allowing three runs and striking out two.  Kristen Dize relieved her to finish the game, surrendering just one run in over two innings worked.  Kaitlyn Morris picked up the victory for LC, throwing a complete game shutout while allowing just three hits.

The Yellow Jackets return to action tomorrow, April 15^th when they play host to Guilford to close out their home ODAC schedule.  Game-time is scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. start.
