No. 14 Softball Readying for Matchup with No. 23 Missouri
per UCFKnights.com:
ORLANDO – Fresh off its 3-1 showing during its season-opening Black & Gold Classic last weekend, the UCF softball squad, ranked as high as No. 14 in the national poll release Tuesday, is set to host No. 23 Missouri Wednesday night in the Knights' final game before the TaxAct Clearwater Invitational this weekend.
UCF rode strong pitching performances, standout defensive plays and timely offense to wins in three of its first four games. Following a narrow 4-2 defeat to then-No. 15 Georgia that saw the Knights yield just four hits to the Bulldogs, right-hander Kaitlyn Felton turned in a career outing in her second appearance and first start of the season.
The sophomore tossed her first career seven-inning complete game and struck out a career-high 13 hitters against the UMass Minutewomen Friday evening, marking the most strikeouts in a single game by a UCF pitcher since Gianna Mancha's 13 punchouts in her April 23, 2021, no-hitter at Memphis. In her dominant performance, Felton allowed just one run on one hit and one walk while throwing 118 pitches.
…..Let’s Go Ladies!!!!!!!…
