HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
BOTTOM 1ST: The Sharks tallied all four of their runs in the first inning, jumping out to an early 4-0 advantage. Edmundson led off with a single to third before stealing second to put NSU in scoring position. A single by Kailynn Blackwood pushed her to third before an RBI-single by Lexie Storrer scored Edmundson. An error by KSU's third baseman brought home Blackwood to score and a fielder's choice on Dominique Sprenger's hit allowed Keeley Mayers to score, serving as NSU's final tally.
 
TOP 4TH: Two scoreless innings later, Kentucky State made it on the board, posting two runs on an RBI-single by Sidney Campbell.
 
INSIDE THE STATS:
  • The Sharks were limited to just four hits on the night, tallied by Edmundson, Blackwood, Storrer and Kight.
  • Storrer, Kight and Sprengers all added one RBI apiece.
  • Storrer increased her record to 4-7 with the win, pitching all 7.0 innings and allowing two runs (1 ER) on seven hits with two K's.
  • KSU's starting pitcher saw all 6.0 innings in the circle as well, and did not strikeout one Shark.
 
BEYOND THE BOXSCORE:
  • LeMaire's 300th career win moves her coaching record to 300-204 (.595).
  • This is the first game this season not one Shark has been struck out.
 
INSIDE THE MATCHUP (GAME TWO):
FINAL SCORE: Nova Southeastern Sharks 8 (W: D. Sprengers, 2-2), Kentucky State Thorobreds 2 (L: C. Thome)
LOCATION: AD Griffin Sports Complex | Fort Lauderdale, Fla.   
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
TOP 2ND: Unlike the first game, it was the Thorobreds to reach the scoreboard first, taking a 1-0 lead on an RBI-single by Campbell.
 
BOTTOM 3RD: The Sharks responded in the home half of the next inning, putting up three runs for a 3-1 Shark advantage. An RBI-single through the left side by Blackwood plated Lageyre and Maloney, before a sacrifice bunt by Storrer brought home Edmundson.
 
TOP 4TH: An error by the Sharks allowed Natalia Bocanegra to cross the plate, and the Thorobreds cut the deficit to just one run, 3-2. That would, however, serve as their last score of the game.
 
BOTTOM 5TH: Leading off the inning with a single up the middle and making her way to third on a ground out and a stolen base, Edmundson was brought home by Storrer, who sent a sacrifice fly to centerfield.
 
BOTTOM 6TH: The Sharks' bats were blazing to kick off the sixth, as Kayla Kight sent a triple to centerfield to lead off. Back-to-back RBI-doubles to left by Sprengers and Bautista put two on the board for NSU and after Bautista advanced on a passed ball, an RBI-single by Megan Maloney scored her. Consecutive ground outs by pinch-hitter Megan Granitto and Edmundson eventually brought home Maloney, ceasing the Sharks' scoring for the night.  
 
 
INSIDE THE STATS:
  • Kailynn Blackwood was a solid 3-for-4 with two RBI and Edmundson was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI.
  • Bautista was 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI and Maloney was 2-for-2 and scored twice to go along with her one RBI.
  • Storrer added two RBI and Sprengers had one.
  • Inside the circle, Sprengers evened out her record to 2-2, tossing all 6.0 innings and allowing two runs (1 ER) on six hits with three strikeouts and no walks.
  • The Sharks outhit the Thorobreds 12-6.
 
BEYOND THE BOXSCORE:
  • The Sharks' 12 hits were the most recorded so far this season.

UP NEXT: 
The Sharks will return to SSC play this weekend as they travel to Daytona Beach to take on the Embry-Riddle Eagles in a three-game series starting on Friday at 6:00 p.m.
