ARKADELPHIA, Ark. — Southern Nazarene dropped both games of a Saturday doubleheader at Henderson State, falling 5-0 in the first game and 11-3 in the second.
 
The Crimson Storm (25-27, 16-24) had just two hits in the opener before the Reddies (29-33, 20-20 GAC) closed out the series with 12 hits to end it in six innings.
 
In the opener, two of the Great American Conference's best pitchers went toe-to-toe as Kayla Wyatt and Michelle Sorensen dueled it out for the second straight day. Sorensen gave up just two hits and struck out seven in the complete-game performance. Wyatt (16-12) had allowed just two runners in scoring position through five innings, but got into a jam in the sixth. After a leadoff walk and a pair of errors led to one HSU run, the Reddies got a grand slam to give them a 5-0 lead and that's all Sorensen needed to close the door.
 
Wyatt struck out four in 5.1 innings and gave up just three hits. Ashley Potter threw the final two-thirds without giving up a hit.
 
In the nightcap, it was the HSU bats and walks that plagued the Storm early. Southern Nazarene gave up two walks and hit three batters as part of a six run inning that included back-to-back home runs. One of those home runs was the second grand slam of the day by Destiny Garza as Henderson took a 6-0 lead in the first.
 
SNU tried to chip away at the lead with two in the fourth on a Sam Smith home run and a Syndni Toilolo double, but the Reddies answered with one in the fifth to make it 7-2. After Smith hit her 13^th home run of the year in the fourth, Toilolo followed with her 12^th home run of the year in the sixth to make it 7-3. That was it for SNU though as the Reddies scored four in the bottom of the sixth to pick up the run rule.
 
Jill Clemence and Toilolo each finished at 2-for-3 with a run scored while Toilolo also had an RBI. Katelyn Brown (8-13) took the loss after throwing the first two-thirds of the game.
