The No. 9 University of North Georgia softball team clinched its fourth consecutive Peach Belt Conference title with a doubleheader sweep of Columbus State on Saturday in Dahlonega. The Nighthawks, who became just the second team in PBC history to win the conference in four straight years and the first since Kennesaw State did it from 1995-1998, started the day with a run-rule, 17-0 win before enacting the mercy rule again for an 8-0 victory in Game 2.
