Kristen Stoll smashed home runs in both games of a softball doubleheader to help lead Berry to a twin bill sweep at LaGrange Saturday.

Berry (13-5 overall) won the opener 10-0 and completed the sweep with a 7-4 victory in the second game.

The Vikings have now won five straight games and 13 of their past 16.

The first game was stopped after five innings, but not before the Vikings' offense would score 10 runs on 12 hits, including three hits each from Critter Dawsey and Denice Aleman.

Aleman accounted for eight total bases in the game, going 3-for-3 with a home run and a pair of doubles. She also drove in three runs and scored three times.

Dawsey was 3-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. Stoll drove in three runs and scored a run while going 2-for-4 at the plate.

Stoll's blast came in the fifth inning with Dawsey and Lindsey Campbell on base.

Meanwhile, Berry hurler Caillee Shamoun was busy tossing a gem, retiring the first 12 batters she faced and entering the fifth inning with a perfect game intact.

The perfect game went by the wayside after giving up back-to-back singles to the first two batters in the bottom of the fifth, but Shamoun got the next batter to ground into a fielder's choice and the following batter to end the game with a double-play ground ball.

Shamoun struck out four batters and did not walk a batter in the contest.

Shamoun would earn the victory in a relief apperance in the second game.

The teams were locked in a scoreless battle through four innings before Berry broke through when Katie Standford belted a two-run homer in the top of the fifth.

After Shamoun got herself out of jam in which LaGrange had runners on second and third in the fifth, Stoll led off the sixth with a home run over the center field fence to give the Vikings a 3-0 lead.

It was the third home run in as many games for Stoll.

Later in the inning, Aleman would deliver a two-out double that scored Lacey Herring from first base, giving the Vikings a four-run cushion.

The Panthers scored their first two runs of the afternoon in the sixth inning, but Berry would answer in the top of the seventh with three of its own, thanks to an RBI single by Stoll and a two-run single by Krista Woody.

LaGrange would score two more runs in the bottom of the inning, but Shamoun would get the final out with the potentional tying run still on-deck.

Stoll was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a pair of RBIs to lead Berry's offense. Herring was 2-for-4 and scored twice, Aleman had a pair of hits and drove in a run and Woody finished with two RBIs for the Vikings, who outhit LaGrange 11-9.

Shamoun entered the game with nobody out and a runner on base in the fourth inning. She allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits in four innings of work. She struck out one batter and didn't walk anyone.

Shamoun entered in relief of Berry starter Andrea Cole, who tossed three innings of shutout ball. Cole allowed two hits and struck out one batter. She did not issue a walk.
