SB Wins 2 More Today; Now 11-2
The SB Team won 2 more games today at the FAU Tourney in Boca Raton, Florida. We took #6 Kentucky to the wood shed 3-0 and eeked past Kent State 1-0 in 9 innings.
Against Kentucky, Haylie gets the game ball without a doubt. She pitched one helava game. She gave up only 2 hits while striking out 5 and walking zero.
The offense was led by Lyndsay by going 2 for 4 with an RBI and a run scored. Romo went 2 for 3 with a run scored. Caitlin went 2 for 4 and Silo went 1 for 3 with 2 RBIs.
In the second game today, and the second game against Kent State in as many days; Sara gets the game ball. She pitched 7 innings and only allowed 2 hits. She had 4 Ks and 0 BBs. Haylie came on in relief and pitched the final 2 innings and stuck out 3 of the 6 batters she faced and did not allow a base hit.
The offense stuttered but finally put something together in the 9th. Colie is the offensive hero by going 2 for 2 and knocking in the only run of the game with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs. She took a pitch to left field and with Romo running on contact, there was no play at the plate.
Abby Ramirez continues to shine as she went 2 for 2 in the #2 hole. This young lady will charm us all in a year or two.
Overall a great performance thus far for our ladies. A good quality win against #5 Kentucky certainly takes the sting off the blown lead in the botton of the 7th against now #1 Florida earlier in the year.

Not sure why, but their school and/or fanbase just annoys me. They're up there with the obvious three, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Philadelphia Eagles fans

Depending on how long you've felt this way, their super-villain b-ball coach may have something to do with that!
Scary to cut it that close against Kent State, but on the plus side the D was stellar again. It's great the see Haylie taking it to the top teams in the country again, and Driesenga really needed a bounce-back game like this, and she came through big time. All in all, a very good day for Michigan softball. Now they've just got to finish out the weekend against FAU. The Owls should be over-matched, although they have notched a couple Ws over Big Ten opposition, and as we saw against Kent State, you can't just cruise by anyone.
