Shocker Softball Tournament
The Shockers continue their homestand by hosting Missouri State and Western Illinois in a double round-robin tournament this Saturday and Sunday. The Shocks play back-to-back games starting at 230pm on Saturday and 130pm on Sunday.
Missouri State are a member of the Missouri Valley Conference where they are a preseason pick for fifth among the ten schools. Outfielder Erika Velasquez Zimmer is a member of the Pre-Season All Conference Team.
The Bears are 10-8 so far this year. They have played in tournaments hosted by Mississippi State, UTSA (losing twice to Kansas), Louisiana Tech, a mid-week single game at Arkansas where they were run-ruled with only one hit off Mary Haff, and an Oklahoma-hosted tournament where they were shutout twice by the Sooners. Most of the teams they have played have been pretty good or not very good it seems.
The Missouri State offense is led by Kaitlin Beason (OPS of 1.132 and two home runs, half of the team total). Zimmer is next on the list at .874. Holly Kelley and Steffany Dickerson each have roughly one-third of the innings for the Bears. Kelley has an ERA of 2.16 and a WHIP of 1.18, while Dickerson is at 2.58 and 1.13. Kelley had a no-hitter against Abilene Christian at the Oklahoma tournament.
Western Illinois is the pick for second among six teams in the Summit League. Returning All-Conference players are Emily Ira (the Pitcher of the Year), third baseman Kelsey Marlow and DP Hailey Duwa. Ira has been Pitcher of the Week once this year for the Summit
The record for the Leathernecks is 6-13, playing at tournaments hosted by Bradley (run-ruled by Washington), Gardner-Webb, UT-Chattanooga and Auburn (losing twice to the Tigers). Their record is not that good and the schedule does not appear to be that good either.
Hailey Duwa with an OPS of .920 and Jasmine Lara at .913 lead the offense for Western. Emily Ira and Megan Lotarski both have an ERA of 3.29 with WHIPs of 1.12 and 1.76 respectively.
Bailey’s ERA is now 2.76 with a WHIP of 1.13, while Caitlin, second on the IP list, is 5.51 and 1.84. Hailey in limited innings has an ERA of 1.02 and a WHIP of 1.39.
Paige has the highest OPS at .989. Climbing the charts, Madison now has an OPS of .866 with Ryleigh at .847.
