GEORGETOWN, Del. – Ella Hayes collected the 100th hit of her JUCO career and it stood as the Salem CC’s only highlight as the Mighty Oaks were swept by Delaware Tech 17-1 and 8-0 Sunday.

Hayes, a sophomore shortstop from Kansas City, reached the milestone with a sharp two-out single to center field in the third inning of the nightcap. She needed two hits entering the doubleheader and had one in each game.

She has 25 hits in 12 games this season and is now batting .595 for the year.

The Mighty Oaks (7-5) were limited to four singles in each game. Their only run of the twinbill came in the fourth inning of the opener when Jolee Robinson scored after Del Tech misplayed Tiana Wilson’s two-out fly to left.

Chantelle Haskie had two hits for Salem in the opener. 

Kylee Hill was the headliner for the Owls (12-2). She pitched the first game and went 3-for-4 with a homer and six RBIs at the plate. She played second base in the nightcap and went 3-for-3 with three doubles and three RBIs.

The Mighty Oaks return home Tuesday for a doubleheader against Raritan Valley.
