JACKSONVILLE, Ala. --- Chattanooga used a pair of home runs to beat Jacksonville State 4-0 in softball action Wednesday night at Jana McGinnis field on the JSU campus. The Mocs improved to 7-4 overall and claimed a sixth straight victory.

Camryn Cernuto led off the game with a bunt single to third and was sacrificed to second by Abi Pikas. Cernuto scored from second on a single to left field and Lipari rolled into second. Clean up batter Kaili Phillips took a full count out of the park to left center putting Chattanooga up 3-0 early in the game.

Kendall Forsythe stepped into a first pitch and put it over the fence in center field to add another run for the Mocs in the sixth.
