DECATUR, Ala. — The University of Arkansas at Monticello softball team posted a 7-4 victory over the Lady Wolves of West Georgia thanks in part to a couple of home runs from senior Meredith Heckel.
 
Heckel (Hot Springs, Ark.) was responsible for all of UAM’s seven runs after dropping a four-RBI grand slam home run in the top of the second inning, followed by a two-RBI blast in the top of the fourth inning to give her a career-high six RBI in the game. Thanks to a UWG throwing error, Heckel scored the seventh and final UAM run in the top of the sixth inning.
 
Heckel’s home runs were number 11 and 12 on the season.
 
Junior Lindsay Randall (Keithville, La.) went 2 for 4 in the game, while senior Lauren Brooks (West Monroe, La.) went 1 for 2 with two runs scored.
 
Junior Becca Sustaire (Hallsville, Texas) improved to 9-11 after throwing a complete game, allowing four runs off six hits, while only walking two of the 32 batters she faced.
 
The Blossoms (17-22, 10-7 GSC) are scheduled to finish play in the 2008 GSC Crossover Tournament Sunday, Apr. 13 with a 10 a.m. start against North Alabama, followed by a noon start against Alabama-Huntsville.
