Behind the Line Score

  • KSU nearly tied the game 1-1 in the fourth. With a runner at second, a liner up the middle was deflected by Clausen as it was redirected to Kayla McGory at second base. McGory fielded it cleanly and retired the runner at first.
  • The Owls didn't hit the ball hard but managed to put up three singles, two of which were infield hits, tying the game 1-1.
  • UNF replied to retake the lead in the fifth, going up 4-1. Jackson opened the frame with a walk before Takiya London pinch ran and stole second. Hayley Bejarano pushed her to third with a groundout and Bailee Aguigui hooked a soft RBI single through the right side.
  • Consecutive singles from Kayla McGory and Shannon Glover pushed the lead to three for UNF.
  • KSU got one on in the sixth and looked to get a second, but McGory started a 4-6-3 double play with a glove flip up the middle to end the frame.
  • The Owls got runners to second and third in the ninth before Clausen coaxed a lineout.
