Lewis then twirled a six-hit shutout in Sunday's win over Adrian. She struck out 10 and did not walk a batter in earning her first victory of the year. For the week, Lewis went 1-1 with 0.54 ERA as she struck out 15 and walked two in 13 innings of work...Mary Washington's Megan Hibbs gained her first win of the season with 6.1 innings of relief against Randolph-Macon on Thursday.
