CONWAY, Ark. – Another two games, another two wins as softball took home a clean slate of games this weekend. On Saturday, the Bears captured another pair against Belmont and Pine Bluff.
 
The pitching on Saturday was dominant, as Kayla Beaver and Jordan Johnson combined for 22 strikouts in two games. On the basepaths, Jenna Wildeman set a Central Arkansas single-game record with five swipes against Pine Bluff.
 
Game One: Central Arkansas – 4, Belmont 1
Central Arkansas got off to a quick start against the Bruins, scoring three runs in the second inning.  Lexi McClellan was the driving force of the runs scored against Belmont, driving in three runs in the first game of the day, starting with a two-RBI shot to center field in the second. Wildeman drove in the third run for the Bears in the second frame, using the next at bat to score Tylar Vernon.
 
McClellan drove in the final run for the Bears in the fourth inning, capitalizing on a Vernon sacrifice bunt to drive in Kylie Griffin.
 
Belmont would get on the board in the fifth inning, but it was too little too late. Entering the fifth inning, the Bruins had only mustered two hits against Beaver, and would earn no more after the fifth.
 
The win moves Beaver to 6-1 on the season, winning six in a row in the circle.
 
Game Two: Central Arkansas – 11, Pine Bluff – 0
The pitching was the dominant factor against the Golden Lions, keeping Pine Bluff from even getting runners on to present a threat. Johnson struck out eight of the first nine batters, keeping a bid for another perfect game through three innings. Finally, Pine Bluff's Alyssa Wesley chopped one through the middle, representing the only hit of the day for the visitors.
 
Offensively, the scoring really broke open in the third inning. Up 4-0 after two, the first two batters for the Bears recorded outs, seemingly setting up a three-up, three-down inning. A breath of hope came in the next at bat as Kristen Whitehouse reached on an error. Back-to-back hits drove in runners, getting the scoring started with two runs driven in and getting the hitting back to the top of the order. From there, Wildeman and Harris would each single, before a three-run inside-the-park home run from Mary Kate Brown made it 10-0.
 
Wildeman would score one more time to complete the scoring, before Johnson would strike out the side in the fifth to end the game.
 
Hitting the road again for the next one, the Bears head to Tulsa, Okla., to take on the Golden Hurricane of Tulsa. Game time at Collins Family Softball Complex is set for 5 p.m.
