Jayla Hill gave up only two hits and threw a five-inning shut out as the Clark Atlanta University Lady Panthers defeated Voorhees College 10-0 Wednesday at Lady Panther Field. 

The victory was the fifth in the last six games for Clark Atlanta (9-28, 2-13 SIAC) and their second win over Voorhees in 12 days. 

Hill befuddled Voorhees hitters in striking out six batters and walking none. Hill only had to throw 58 pitches and faced just 17 batters in a dominating, five-inning performance. 

Clark Atlanta had a big second inning when Rachel Carroll, followed by walks to Hill and Joh'nell Clark. Sarah Colbert then singled in Carroll and Sania Butler doubled in Hill and Clark. Colbert then scored on passed ball, followed by a walk to Alexis Scott. Arianna Hansley then tripled, scoring Butler and Scott.  Tatianna Kelly, who was playing her final home game at CAU, hit a hard grounder that the Voorhees second baseman couldn't handle.  Kelly reached and Hansley scored on the play, giving CAU a 7-0 lead. 

Hansley added an RBI single ini the third inning, while Carroll hit a two-run homer in the fourth. 

Carroll was 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two runs scored for Clark Atlanta. Hansley was also 2-for-3 with three RBIs and a run scored. Butler had two hits, two RBIs and two runs scored. 

The Lady Panthers now will focus on an important Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference series this weekend when they visit Fort Valley State University.  The Lady Panthers will earn a spot in the eight-team, SIAC Softball Championships which begin in Albany, Ga., on May 5.   The Lady Panthers haven't qualified for the SIAC Championships since 2018.
