Charlotte, N.C. - Oberlin College defeated Johnson & Wales Charlotte in a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon. The Yeowomen won by scores of 8-5 and 6-2.

Saturday's first game saw the Wildcats jump out to a 4-1 lead after one inning. Mai Tellez-Martinez doubled in two runs to open the scoring for JWU, while Addison Laney drove home Tellez-Martinez and Addison Laney with a single. Oberlin answered with 4 runs in the top of the second inning to re-take the lead. JWU trimmed that lead to one run in the fifth when Elizabeth Salazar's double plated Seven Hope.

Hope and Tellez-Martinez each went 3-4 with a double at the plate for JWU. Tellez-Martinez pitched 6.1 innings, allowing 8 runs, walking none, and striking out three.

The second game saw Oberlin break open a scoreless tie in the top of the fourth by scoring three runs. JWU got one in the bottom of the frame, but Oberlin again scored thrice in the top of the fifth.
