PENSACOLA, Fla. – It was a quick and decisive game three at the UWF Softball Complex as UWF Softball (23-12, 12-6) run-ruled the Shorter Hawks (2-32, 1-20) by a 10-0 score Saturday afternoon. 
 
The bats for West Florida continue to light up the scoreboard in recent weeks, as the run-rule marks the sixth victory in that manner in the last nine games. Since the March 15 series against Christian Brothers, UWF has outscored opponents 95-20 in that time. 
 
It is also third-straight series sweep in conference for UWF. The victory marks their 23^rd win of the year, surpassing the total from last year with 17 regular season games remaining. With a month till the GSC Tournament, UWF sits at fourth in the conference standings. 
 
Erin Moon and Gianna Guerriero had standout days at the plate in the win against the Hawks. Guerriero scored first for the Argos for the third straight game, going 2-2 with two runs, a double, and RBI and a stolen base. Moon went 3-3 with two more runs and two RBI. 
 
The commanding lead in the third allowed coach Ashliegh McLean to make lineup changes and get other players pinch-hit action in the game. 12 different players had at bats, including newcomers Maddie Treutlein, Anna Vibral, and Cameron Wolfenden. 
 
Hannah Harper started her second straight game and pitched another shutout. She had a near identical stat line to her performance yesterday, with four strikeouts and a walk in five innings. Her season ERA improves to 4.48. 
 
UWF 10, Shorter 0 in 5 inn.
 
Gianna Guerrierio hit to get on base and then was singled home by Erin Moon in the first inning. In the bottom of the second, Chelsea Dumas singled to bring in Jessica Ford and Jessie Baughan unearned. 
 
Emma Brice was walked, and then created confusion on an attempted steal which allowed Dumas to take home. Brianna Jennings finished the second inning with a two-RBI single to bring the tally to 6-0 Argos after two frames. 
 
In the bottom of the third, Guerriero doubled to right center to score Jessica Ford. Dumas advanced home but was tagged out at the plate. The Argos continued their success of RBI singles in the game as Moon added her second of the day that scored Guerriero. 
 
Harper hit another RBI single to bring in Moon, and advance Vasquez to third. Vasquez caught the Shorter infield off guard and scored on the throw during a play, bringing in the tenth and final run of the game. 
 
UWF added nothing in the fourth but Harper and company did the rest for the final outs in the fifth inning to get the third win of the weekend.
