In the circle, senior Jordan Stout threw a 5-inning shutout in a 10-0 win. “I think we did pretty well. I feel like there were definitely some things that we need to work on,” Stout said.

“I feel like we were just a little bit nervous, but other than that I feel like we adjusted really well from our first at-bat to the second and third at-bats. ” Stout allowed 2 hits and struck out 9 hitters, her third-highest strikeout total in a game this season. The senior stranded Sandcrabs on base in four of five innings.

In the second inning, Stout struck out the side. “I felt like I had an off game the game before this, so this past week I’ve sat there and worked on the stuff I was doing wrong,” Stout said. “I feel like I just really found my spins and found my rhythm.
