SB Wins 2 at Boca
(EDIT) I wrote the post yesterday but I had Wi-Fi issues at work. I thought it went through until I checked the board this morning.
The #5 ranked SB Team #37 won the first two games today in the FAU Invitational in Boca Raton, Fla. We won both games rather easily by defeating Pitt 9-0 and Kent State 7-1. The weather was 80F and sunny.
In the first game versus Kent State, we had 7 runs off 11 hits. The offense was led by Silo who went 3 for 4 with 3 RBIs. Freshman Abby Ramirez went 2 for 3 with a run scored. Colie went 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored. Caitlin went 2 for 4 with a run scored.
Coach Hutch put Haylie in the circle. She allowed 1 run off 2 hits. She tallied 4 Ks with 3 BBs. She pitched all 7 innings and even batted for herself going 0-2 with an RBI.
In the second game against Pitt, 9 offensive players garnered hits for 14 team hits in the Mercy-Rule win. This on-slaught was led by Colie who went 2 for 2 with 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored. Freshmen Abby Ramirez went 3 for 3 with a run scored.
Coach Hutch gave the ball to Megan who pitched very well. She allowed only 3 hits with 4 Ks and 1 BB.
Overall a very good start to the weekend by our wonderful ladies in Blue. We finish the tourney against #6 Kentucky, Kent State again and FAU.

Wagner in the circle for a huge one against Kentucky today. This is exactly the kind of quality win we need to get. Let's hope they can get it done!

Haylie is dominating the Cats 2-0 and allowing only 1 hit.

She's also taking one for the team at the plate! Two hit-by-pitches for her - I think UK is getting a little frustrated & trying to get in her head a little bit. It's great to see her out there in a pressure spot against elite competition again after her injury, etc. last year. Hope she can slam the door on them!

Did they get a chance to tour Del Boca Vista Phase 2?

Wagner slams the door in Kentucky's face! A 2-hit shut-out against the #5/#6 team in the nation! Romero goes 2-for-3 with a walk to record yet another multi-hit game, and Lawrence continues to provide the extra punch in the offense with a 2-RBI game. This is exactly the sort of high-quality win we need to get in the non-conf schedule. Great work by the team!
