The No. 9-ranked Georgia Gwinnett College softball team scored nine runs during the middle innings in a doubleheader sweep at the College of Coastal Georgia by 3-2 and 13-3 scores on Tuesday in Brunswick, Georgia. The victories extended the team's winning streak to 11 games.

The Grizzlies (38-8) put two runs on the scoreboard in the top of the sixth inning to capture the day's opening game. Then, a six-run fifth inning allowed the team to pull away during the second game.

Junior Savannah Jenkins delivered a go-ahead two-run single to left field in the top of the sixth inning, giving the visitors a decisive 3-1 lead. A few innings earlier, senior Makenna Talcott hit an RBI single that tied the contest at 1-1.

Freshman reliever Isabelle Teems tossed 3.1 productive innings out of the bullpen to pick up the victory – her sixth of the 2025 campaign. The right hander scattered four hits and allowed one unearned run. Senior Annalise Jarvis secured her fifth save of the season by recording the final two outs of the 3-2 game with opposing baserunners in scoring position.

In the second game, Jenkins gave the team a quick 3-0 lead in the first inning with a two-run homer – her team-leading fourth of the season. A fielding error allowed the first run of the inning to score.

Senior Haley Robinson connected on a three-run homer in the fifth inning. That came after Jenkins drove in a pair of runs with a single to left-center field.

The Grizzlies added four runs in the seventh inning as Robinson registered an RBI double. She went 3-for-4 and drove in four runs in the contest.

Freshman Casey Beaver capped the strong offensive production in the game by having a run-scoring double that plated the team's 13th run. The outfielder also went 3-for-4 and scored twice from the leadoff spot in the batting order.

Jenkins drove in four runs and tallied two hits. Freshman Samantha Fadely also had two of the Grizzlies' 12 hits in the victory over the Mariners, which received votes in the latest NAIA national poll.
 
Coach's Corner
"The pitchers stepped up. Bella (Teems) was dialed in and showed that she is a valuable member of our pitching staff. Offensively, at no point do we want an inning to end. The energy this team has for each other to succeed is unmatched in the NAIA. They cheer hard for one another, and they believe that we will start a rally with nobody on with two outs and two strikes," said Head Coach Kat Ihlenburg.
 
Turning Point
The Grizzlies broke open a 1-1 deadlock with a productive top of the sixth inning to capture the opening game of the road doubleheader. Sophomore Sophie Sisk put runners at second and third bases with one out following a single. Junior Savannah Jenkins followed with a clutch go-ahead base hit that brought home freshman Casey Beaver and Sisk.
