3/20/2021 8:54:00 PM | Softball
LAWRENCE, Kan. –– The Golden Hurricane use dominant pitching to sweep day two of the Jayhawk Invitational, defeating the South Dakota Coyotes and the North Dakota State Bison 1-0 each at the Arrocha Ballpark Saturday.
Freshman Kylee Nash picked up her first win at Tulsa, drawing her first start as a Hurricane against the Coyotes. Nash combined with Chenise Delce for the shutout in the early game.
In the night cap, Samantha Pochop continued her dominant weekend going 7 innings allowing just 4 hits against the Bison to secure her second win in the Invitational.
Tulsa's record moved to 7-5 on the season, while South Dakota fell to 4-18 and North Dakota State dropped to 5-14.
Tulsa will close out play in the Jayhawk Invitational tomorrow as the Hurricane takes on North Dakota State at 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning.
GAME 1
Nash (1-0) entered the game having only pitched 3.1 innings in relief for Tulsa with three strikeouts and two earned runs. Throughout her 5 innings against the Coyotes, she struck out 4 batters and gave up only 3 hits.
Offensively the Hurricane only needed one hit, which was a solo home run by Makayla Jackson in the top of the 2nd inning. Jackson finished the game leading the Hurricane in hits with 2, recording a single in the 4th.
Imani Edwards continued her stellar freshman campaign going 2-3 from the plate with singles in the 1st and 3rd innings.
Delce came in for Nash in relief to start the 6th inning, finishing the game with her first save of the season. She struck out 4, allowing only 3 hits, in her two innings of work.
Tulsa jumped out of the game hot as Edwards and Haley Morgan reached base to start the 1st inning. Alexis Perry walked to load the bases for the Hurricane; however, a double play ended TU's hopes to score.
