One day down, six more to go in the NAIA Women’s Softball National Championship. So far it’s proving to be an exciting championship, with big scores, a no-hitter, and a fighting defending champion rounding out the first day.
Several games finished up with high final scores and/or shut-outs. Bethel (Indiana) shut out Morningside (Iowa) with a final score of 10-0, and defending champ Simon Fraser (B.C.) continued its fight for a repeat title by winning 10-2 against Reinhardt (Georgia). Trevecca Nazarene (Tennessee) also had a big shut-out score, beating Midland (Nebraska) 9-0, while Oliviet Nazarene (Illinois) won 9-4 against William Woods (Missouri). With scores like these, it’s apparent that these ladies are serious about winning!
Several players have shown amazing skill in pitching, too. Anyibell Ramirez and Morgan Paschall of Lindsey Wilson (Kentucky) combined their pitching efforts and pulled out a no-hitter and a 3-0 win against Blanks Minot State (North Dakota). In addition, pitcher Lauren Baker of Trevecca Nazarene allowed only one hit the entire game, as did pitcher Lily LaVelle of Oklahoma City in her team’s 5-1 defeat of Mobile.
With six more days until the final championship game, there’s plenty of softball still to be played!
