No. 4 Georgia softball completed their home tournament sweep by taking all five games in the Bulldog Invitational, including a 8-0 five-inning victory over Middle Tennessee State on Sunday afternoon.

Led by a balanced approach at the plate and on the base paths, the Bulldogs (18-1) put up six runs in the bottom of the first inning to coast to yet another shutout win.

All-American Taylor Schlopy was once again the spark plug at the top of the lineup as she reached base in every plate appearance while going 2-for-2 with a home run and two runs scored against Middle Tennessee State (4-8).  The junior center fielder would go 7-for-11 in the tournament, while also drawing an additional four walks – bringing her on-base percentage to a staggering .609 for the season.

Sophomore pitcher Erin Arevalo started and went four innings in the shutout win, improving her record to 11-1.

Arevalo has still not allowed an earned run since Georgia’s 3-2 loss to then-No. 6 UCLA on February 14.

Georgia also beat Belmont, Elon and Minnesota twice during the round-robin tournament – highlighted by a combined no-hitter from pitchers Sarah McCloud (4-0) and Alison Owen (1-0) against the Bruins of Belmont.  The no-hitter was No. 24 in school history and the first since McCloud and Christie Hamilton combined to pitch one against Arkansas last season.
