FULTON, Miss. – The Indians' bats woke up in the final game of the day to pick up a 6-1 win to complete the sweep of East Mississippi on Tuesday.

The Lions (17-22, 13-11 MACJC) grabbed early momentum when Kelsey English singled and scored on a single by Mollie Singleterry in the top of the first, but the Indians (30-6, 21-1 MACJC) answered with three runs in the bottom half of the inning.
