The Bulls were able to beat UCF in the first game of the NCAA regional tournament with just 2 hits, but it was the defense of Jessica Mouse and the pitching of Sara Nevins that proved to be the difference in this game (team is now 46-11 after the great win).
Sara Nevins battled a tough UCF batting order that constantly had runners on base against her. She worked 6.2 innings, allowing 4 hits, 2 walks, and struck out 10 batters. Lindsey Richardson got one out and walked 2 batters in a quick relief appearance.
The real story of the game was the big third inning for the Bulls and the defense of Mouse. The Bulls got runners on in the third. Ashli Goff started the inning getting a walk, Gina Kafalas was then hit by a pitch. The Knights walked Medina to get to Janine Richardson who hit the ball to the right foul ground, allowing Goff to score. Mouse was 1 for 1 in the game and Richardson finished the game 1 for 2 with the RBI. The defense of the Bulls though saved the game for the team. In the 6th inning, the Knights loaded the bases and Mouse made a game saving catch to end the threat. After that, Mouse helped turn a double play to end the 7th inning for the Bulls.
This was an incredible win for the ladies. They will face the winner of the UF/FGCU game tomorrow at 3:30PM as they look to keep the season going.
