BRISTOL, Tenn. -- The Lady Railsplitters (16-18) used a five-run inning in game one - powered by Megan Tice's (Orlando, Fla.) three-run home run - and a four-run frame in game two to sweep a nonconference softball doubleheader from the King Tornado (11-21) on Wednesday afternoon in Bristol, Tenn.
 
Lincoln Memorial extended its winning streak to four with a 7-4 victory in the opener and a come-from-behind 5-2 win in the nightcap. Senior Emilee Solomon (Knoxville, Tenn.) continued to swing a red-hot bat, going 5-for-8 in the twinbill. The Knoxville, Tenn. native has hit safely in 12 of her last 17 plate appearances, bulging her batting average from .272 to .333.
 
The Lady Railsplitters compiled six hits with runners in scoring position, improving to 13-for-42 in the past four games in run-scoring chances. Lincoln Memorial accounted for just 11 total hits with a runner in scoring position in the seven games leading up to this recent flourish.
 
Game One: Lincoln Memorial 7, King 4
 
Meredith Johnson (Kenly, N.C.) got the Lady Railsplitters' offense going with a leadoff double in the top of the second inning. After Johnson moved into scoring position on a wild pitch, Jennifer Moose (Statesville, N.C.) put Lincoln Memorial in front with a single through the right side of the infield.
 
Samantha Smith (Knoxville, Tenn.) set down the Tornado in 1-2-3 order in the bottom of the second, and Solomon led off the following frame with a double into straightaway center field. Kelly Dreier (Knoxville, Tenn.) moved Solomon into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt, and Amanda Snow (Knoxville, Tenn.) drove her in with a sacrifice fly out.
 
The Tornado cut the deficit in half in the bottom of the third as Kelsie Craighead led off with a single and scored on a two-out base knock by Chrissy Melcher.
 
Lincoln Memorial went down in order in the fourth as did King, but the Lady Railsplitters took advantage of two Tornado errors and got one big swing to explode for five runs in the fifth. Solomon and Dreier singled in back-to-back at-bats to put a pair of runners on with no outs. Following a groundout, Johnson drew a four-pitch walk to load the bases. An error by the King first baseman on the ensuing play allowed two runs to come in. Tice followed that up by belting a three-run home run to dead center field, ballooning the Lady Railsplitters' lead to 7-1.
 
It marked the first home run of Tice's career in the Blue and Gray and the fifth home run for the Lady Railsplitters in the past seven games.
 
Hannah Smith led off the bottom of the sixth with a homer to trim LMU's lead to 7-2, but the Tornado stranded two runners on base that same inning.
 
King got something started in the bottom of the seventh, too, as Stephanie Rodriguez and Amanda Sports singled in consecutive at-bats and advanced into scoring position on a wild pitch with no outs. A passed ball allowed one run to come home and another scored on a two-out base hit by Diamond Callwood, but Snow induced a groundout to end the contest.
 
Smith went six innings and improved to 6-8 after allowing seven hits and three earned runs in the start. She struck out two batters and did not walk anybody over that span.
 
Solomon, Dreier, Moose and Tice finished with two hits apiece, pacing the Lady Railsplitters' nine-hit outing.
 
Morgan Lowe fell to 8-8 for the Tornado, allowing nine hits and six earned runs in seven innings. She struck out six and walked two. Callwood went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
 
Game Two: Lincoln Memorial 5, King 2
 
Solomon opened up the game with a double into the gap in left center, but was eventually left stranded at third base. That was one of just two hits for the Lady Railsplitters in the first five frames as King starter Lauren Smith kept the Blue and Gray in check over that stretch.
 
The Tornado staked Smith to an early 2-0 lead with a pair of runs in the bottom of the second, scoring the first run on a double by Callwood and notching the second on a sacrifice fly out from Kelsey Nave.
 
The Lady Railsplitters more than doubled up their hit total in the top of the sixth inning and catapulted into the lead with a four-run outburst. Solomon and Dreier were once again the catalyst, singling in consecutive at-bats in front of Snow, who knotted it up at 2-2 with a double. Snow scored in the very next at-bat on a single by Johnson. Tice capped the scoring and collected her fourth RBI of the doubleheader with a two-out, run-scoring single two batters later.
 
Lincoln Memorial tacked on an insurance run in the top of the seventh as Savannah Couch (Colonial Heights, Va.) walked, advanced to third on back-to-back wild pitches and scored on a base knock by Solomon.
 
Freshman Brianna Taylor (Ooltewah, Tenn.) worked around a two-out single and struck out two batters in the bottom of the seventh to cap her complete-game performance, as she evened her record at 9-9 with two runs allowed and seven strikeouts in seven innings.
 
Solomon was 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI, while Snow drove in a pair of runs.
 
Smith took the loss for the Tornado, allowing three earned runs and seven hits in six innings. Rodriguez, Sports and Amber Walker paced King with two hits apiece.
 
The Lady Railsplitters make their final road trip of the 2015 campaign on Saturday, venturing to Salisbury, N.C. for a South Atlantic Conference doubleheader against the Catawba Indians. First pitch in game one is set for 1 p.m.
