Alex doesn't get to finish the game as she gives up a walk and a HR to start the 7th. Howell coming in to finish this off.

10-5

[SubGod22]

Shox win 10-5 on a fantastic catch by Lainee. Keep hoping they'll post the video but I'm not seeing it yet.

By the way, whoever runs the softball Twitter deserves a raise.

Great win for the Lady Shocks. Great bounce back on the road against a quality opponent who had grabbed the momentum in game 1 of the series.

Zoe Jones has to be a candidate for AAC player of the week. Great work by Zoe with the stick in Games 2 and 3 of the UCF series.

The Shocker pitchers continue to get the job done.

Still a long way to go though but winning this opening series may ultimately prove to be pivotal.

Addie had several nice catches in Satruday's 6-0 win with the best recording the final out of the game:

Jones Grabs Player of the Week Honors after Big Weekend in Orlando (Lauren Howell on the Weekly Honor Roll)

https://goshockers.com/news/2023/3/27/softball-jones-grabs-player-of-the-week-honors-after-big-weekend-in-orlando.aspx

The Mustang, Okla., native busted out of a home run slump in a big way at UCF. Jones was 6-for-11 at the plate in Orlando, including a double, two home runs, five runs scored and seven RBI. In Wichita State's 6-0 win Saturday, she was 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI. Her three hits tied a career high. In the series finale, Jones smashed her first career grand slam during the Shockers' seven-run second inning. She finished the day 2-for-4 with a double, home run and five RBI.

The American also named Lauren Howell to the weekly honor roll. The junior pitcher was 1-0 in three appearances. In the UCF series, Howell threw a complete game shutout in Saturday's 6-0 win to go with three strikeouts. She then recorded the final three outs in Sunday's finale.

Not to be outdone Lulu lays out the leather on Sunday:

The Shocks will wish they would have a 1,500+ seat stadium come Senior Day 2023:
