         EDWARDSVILLE - Alicia DeShasier celebrated her birthday with a game-winning RBI single in the night cap of a doubleheader as Southern Illinois University Edwardsville softball team swept two games from UW-Parkside Saturday afternoon in Great Lakes Valley Conference action.

         With the game tied at 1-1 and two out in the bottom of the seventh inning, DeShasier drove home Jodie Ohlau from second base with a single up the middle.
         UW-Parkside gained a 1-0 lead in the sixth inning on sacrafice fly by Katrina Homa. With two outs in the bottom of the inning, Kaleigh Rousey delivered a game-tying home run over the left field fence.
         Rousey went 3-5 on the day with two runs scored.
         Kaitlin Colosimo pitched two innings in relief, giving up one hit to improve her record to 12-0 on the year. Lindsey Laas made the start allowing one run on two hits.
