Bowen, Brown Propel Lynx to Wins

4/16/2011 7:16:00 PM

Senior Sara Bowen tossed the second perfect game of her career and freshman Jessica Brown belted 3 HR in game 1, leading the Lynx to a 17-0 win over SCAC rival Sewanee, then Bowen and Olivia Ryan each homered in game 2 to lead a 21-hit attack as the Lynx cruised to a 20-1 victory to complete the sweep. 

It was a record-breaking day for the Lynx, as 10 school or SCAC records fell on the day.   Bowen picked up her 13th win of the season in game 1, breaking the Rhodes single-season record for wins.  It also gives her 40 wins for her career, eclipsing the mark of 39 wins set by Amy Whitten from 1998-2001.  Bowen also tossed the second perfect game of her career and 7th no-hitter, also Rhodes records.  Brown's 3 home runs set a Rhodes single-game record, and her 7 RBI in game 1 tied the single game record. 

In the second inning of game 1, Bowen connected for the 45th double of her career, setting a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference record, and Allison Conn's single in the first inning of game one gave her 57 hits on the season, breaking her own single-season record of 56 hits set in 2010.  Conn also scored her 48th run of the season in the 5th inning of game two, another Rhodes' single season record.  Rhodes win in game 2 gives them 23 on the season, and gives the 2011 Seniors 92 wins in their career, making them the winningest class in Rhodes Softball history.
