Gotta give some love to NT softball

untcampbell · March 18, 2013

I spent the weekend with family and didn't get out to the ballpark, but in spite of that (or possibly because of it) NT softball had a nice weekend.

In a real up and down and down and up and up series, NT took 2 of 3 against Troy...a late inning meltdown in game 1 kept them from the sweep. Ladies were down 6-1 in game 2 and put up 7 runs to take that game before run ruling Troy in game 3 10-2 in 5 innings.

Freshman catcher, Taylor Schoblocher, had 3 home runs over the series. Ashley Kirk moved to 6-4 with the five-inning complete game, striking out 10. Brook Foster went .625 for the weekend and freshman Paige Kisling got her third triple of the season.

This is a young team, but NT scored 26 runs in the three games. 7 of the game 3 starters are freshman or sophomores.

NT moves to 14-12 on the year, 3-2 in the conference (4th place). 2nd place FIU's (4-1) lone conference loss was against NT last week. Last week's split with FIU were both low-scoring one-run games, 0-1 and 2-1.

NT softball beats OK State 4-3, snapping OSU's 12-game win streak.

Road victory against a Big 12. Nice job, ladies!

Jordan Terry knocks in 3 with a single and a HR and, I believe, Simmons picks up the win with a gutsy save by Ashley Kirk.

Great for the softball team. I have a co-worker that went to OSU, will forward the article to him. Hopefully soon i can brag a little after football and basketball games.

Great first game. Second game was 2-1 Baylor. The stands were almost full. Is that common?

Ashley Kirk wins all three games, two the no-hitter route, as NT swept ULM this weekend.

In Saturday's game one and Sunday's finale, NT run-ruled ULM, both by an 8-0 score. Ashley through no-hitters in both games. She pitched 11and a third shutout innings in the three games, and struck out 16 while walking 3.

In game two yesterday, NT fell behind 6-0 early (4 errors in the first two innings) but the bats got us back in the game. Ashley came in and pitched late and picked up the win.

Lots of homers in this series, as NT scored 8 runs in each game.

NT moved into fourth place in conference, 25-22 (12-9 SBC). WKU, USA and ULL, all very strong teams, lead the conference.

Only two seniors on this young team.

Last home game of the season is against UTA in the annual Play for Kay fundraiser game.

Great time of year to go to the ballpark, get some sun and see the Mean Green play one of the spring sports.
