DOVER, Del. - Junior Jordan Reid (Accokeek, Md.) continues to state her case for Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Player of the Year as she hit .875 Saturday afternoon in a 7-1 first game loss to Hampton University and a 7-1 victory in game two for Delaware State University at the Hornets Nest.

Reid went 7-for-8 on the day with two doubles, one run, one RBI and one stolen base.  She posted half of the Hornets' hits in game one as the team tallied a total of six hits. 

The Lady Pirates made their onslaught in the top of the second inning, recording six runs on four hits and one error en route to a 7-1 game one victory. 

DSU bats came alive in game two, scoring seven runs on nine hits and one HU error.

The Hornets' big inning came in the third when Reid led off the frame with a double down the right field line.  Senior Andrea Waters (Anchorage, Alaska) singled to left field and then stole second to put DSU runners on second and third with no outs. 

Junior Rachel Carroll (Oxnard, Calif.) then hit a two-RBI single to left field to score Reid and Waters and give the Hornets a 3-0 lead. Carroll proceeded to score on a single up the middle from senior Janelle Lukens (Williamsport, Pa.) to go up 4-0.

DSU scored two more runs in the bottom of the fourth to go up 6-0 off of a double by sophomore Skye Boris (Magnolia, Del.) and single from Reid.

The Lady Pirates broke up the shutout in the top of the sixth with a single by Nina Ferguson, who eventually scored on a double from Sharde' Estep to make things 6-1.

Reid led off the bottom of the sixth for the Hornets with another double, this time to left field.  Senior Allison Rubin (Glen Burnie, Md.) came in as a pinch runner for Reid and stole third before scoring on a wild pitch.

Freshman Stephanie Sarris (Rohnert Park, Calif.) earned her eighth win of the year, giving up four hits and one earned run while striking out two in 6.1 innings pitched.

With the split, DSU's record improves to 26-16 overall and 8-3 in the MEAC while the Lady Pirates move to 13-31 and 6-5.

Sunday's game between the two teams has been moved up in the day and will begin at noon.  The Hornets will honor seniors Sherelle Sheppard (Georgetown, Canada), Waters, Lukens and Rubin as a part of Senior Day festivities as the quartet plays in their final home game at the Hornets Nest.
