Saints smack six homers in diamond sweep

Published 12:00 am Thursday, April 21, 2005

Jeff Cooper smoked his second grand slam in eight days and Brittany Wilkins knocked a pair out of the softball park as Nansemond-Suffolk Academy swept host Norfolk Academy on Tuesday.

The boys grabbed a 12-3 victory, and the girls scored 10 runs in the first inning on their way to a 22-0 rout.

Cooper and Wilkins led a barrage of Saint round-trippers, as Andy Owens and Jason Rock also homered for NSA, and Ashley Brinkley whacked one as well.

Rock got the pitching win for the baseball team, and Jessica Little hit the mound for the softball team.

The softball team hosted Cape Henry on Wednesday (not finished at press time) and the boys go to Cape today.
