Lauren Welch hit a grand slam in Game 1 and Brittany Richardson ended Huntingdon’s 7-3 and 11-3 sweep of Agnes Scott with a solo home run in Game 2.
 
The Lady Hawks (21-9, 14-0 Great South Athletic Conference) locked up the regular-season conference title with the wins. Huntingdon, which has won 18 straight conference games and 32 of its last 33 conference games, will close out the regular season on Saturday with a conference doubleheader at Salem.
 
Huntingdon totaled 23 hits in Wednesday’s doubleheader. The Lady Hawks used a six-run fifth inning to take control of Game 1 and scored in every inning in Game 2.
 
Welch finished with five RBIs and two runs in the doubleheader. Her grand slam in the bottom of the fifth inning gave Huntingdon a 6-0 lead in the first game. Richardson was 5-for-7 on the day with three RBIs and two runs.

Keegan Lambeth and Seth Currie drove in five runs and Huntingdon’s pitching and defense took care of the rest as the Hawks beat Birmingham-Southern 5-4 on Tuesday.
 
The win capped a season-sweep of the Panthers. The Hawks (24-9) beat Birmingham-Southern (25-12) 4-3 and 4-1 earlier this season.
 
Lambeth smashed a three-run home run in the first inning for a 3-1 lead and Currie hit a two-run single in the sixth for a 5-2 lead. The Panthers rallied with two runs in the seventh inning before closer Neil Lawler took the mound for the final three innings.
 
Lawler entered the game in the seventh inning with a 5-4 lead, runners on first and second and no outs. The junior worked his way out of the seventh without giving up a run and only allowed one batter to reach base in the eighth.
 
In the ninth, the Panthers managed a triple with one out.

After not allowing an earned run across 17 innings, Auburn Montgomery sophomore pitcher Cassie Daniels was named the Southern States Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week on Monday for the third time this season.

Daniels won all three of her starts over conference opponents, and she also closed out AUM’s 9-5 victory over Faulkner. She surrendered just one unearned run, striking out 31 and walking only five.

Against Southern Wesleyan on Saturday, Daniels tied a season and career-high with 12 strikeouts. It was the third time this season she has struck out at least 10 batters in a game.

The Valley Grande, Ala., native pitched a complete-game one-hitter in AUM’s five-inning 15-0 win over Faulkner, fanning eight batters with a first inning bunt single keeping her from a no-hitter.

Daniels has not allowed an earned run in 21 consecutive innings, breaking her previous career-best of 19 2/3 innings set last March.
