Softball Continues Win Streak with Win Over Kansas
March 02, 2023 | Softball
TAMPA, March 2, 2023 – The University of South Florida softball team opened the Bulls Invitational with a 4-2 win over the Kansas Jayhawks on Thursday evening.
Marissa Trivelpiece (Sugarloaf, Pa.) opened the scoring with a two-RBI single in the bottom half of the first inning after a six-pitch at-bat. Emma Humplik (Orange, Texas) and Meghan Sheehan (Forest Hills, Md.) crossed the plate.
Kansas led off the fourth inning with a solo home run to cut the Bulls lead in half. They loaded the bases with back-to-back singles and an intentional walk.
Payton Dixon (Smyrna, Del.), who earned the start for USF, locked in and got the first out with a strike swinging. South Florida got out of the inning with their second 6-4-3 double play of the game.
Rian Eigenmann (Millville, N.J.) kicked off the fourth inning with a single. She advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Kathy Garcia-Soto (Tampa), and then to third on a single from Jordyn Kadlub (Wesley Chapel).
Eigenmann scored on a sacrifice fly from Alyssa Rano (Seminole). Kadlub scored the Bulls final run on an RBI double from Hallie Bryant (Trenton).
