KEYSER, W.Va. — WVU Potomac State routed Niagara, 8-0 and 9-1, on Saturday to up its winning streak to 10.

The Catamounts (16-2) got a pair of excellent outings from Brianne Stocks and Taylor Townsend in the circle. Stocks tossed a shutout in game one on two hits with eight Ks and no walks, and Townsend allowed no earned runs in the second affair on five hits, walking one and striking out four.

At the plate, Potomac State blew open the opening contest with three runs in the third and four in the fourth. Keyser graduate Madison Anderson belted a two-run homer in the fourth to cap the scoring.

Mia Kincaid hit safely twice, one of which was a two-bagger, and Alexis Bailey also doubled. Shelby Wolf and Sydney Sexton accounted for Niagara's two hits in the first game — both singles.

With Townsend dealing in Game 2, Potomac State belted a trio of home runs to seal the series sweep. Anderson, who was 3 for 4 in the game with two RBIs, Josie Deneen and Stocks left the yard. The Catamounts hit all three long balls during a five-run fourth inning.

Mackenzie Gozdziak tallied a pair of singles out of Niagara's lead-off spot, and Wolf doubled.
