2-2 on the weekend
Published on April 7, 2009 by Jerome Wooley
The KSU softball team went 2-2 on the weekend, sweeping Stetson, 2-1 and 3-1, on Friday, April 3 while getting swept by Florida Gulf Coast, 8-0 and 4-0, on Saturday, April 4.
Freshman April Harper only allowed three hits and one earned run in seven innings pitched against Stetson. Harper retired 11 consecutive batters to end the game.
The Owls offense was stagnant until the fourth inning when Klair Wells hit a monstrous homerun to tie the game at 1-1. The Black and Gold would hit another dry spell until the magical seventh inning arrived.
With the game tied 1-1, the Owls manufactured to load the bases. The intimidating Kelsey Kulk stepped to the plate and delivered. Kulk drew a bases-loaded walk which resulted in the game-winning run.
Harper pitched a complete one-run, four-hit performance in game two’s victory against Stetson. The offense was driven by freshman Brittany Moore who went 1-for-3 with two RBIs. Harper finished the doubleheader allowing only seven hits and striking out six in 14 innings of work.
Saturday was not as productive for the Owls as they were shut out in both games against the Eagles. The Black and Gold struggled to produce a single run as Florida Gulf Coast over-powered them, 8-0 and 4-0. The Eagles outhit, outscored and outpitched the Owls on the day.
The losses give KSU an overall record of 15-16 and a 2-4 record in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
The Owls will be back in action on Tuesday, April 7 when they travel to North Carolina to take on the Campbell Camels.
