LAKELAND, Fla. (February 26, 2016) - The
Rollins softball team opened up SSC play with a win as they
defeated Florida Southern, 5-3, on Friday night. Niki
Fogle collected her sixth win on the year.
Rollins goes to 9-3-1 on the year and 1-0 in SSC play, while the
Mocs fall to 8-3-1 overall and 2-1-1 in conference.
Rollins jumped out to the early lead in the top of the third as
Tiffany
Osmanski hit a two-out double to right center to score Sid
Masso and Hailee
Keisling. The Tars didn't wait much longer to extend the lead
as Brianne
Lint hit a double to center field to score Osmanski from
second. Chelsea
Reed would get in on the action as she singled to center to
score Lint to bring the Tars lead to 4-0.
Senior Fogle kept the Mocs quiet over the next couple innings
before Florida Southern used small ball to get on the board. The
Mocs scored three runs with two outs in the bottom of the fifth to
cut the Rollins' lead to one.
The Tars offense threatened again in the top of sixth by having
a runner on first and third, but could not capitalize as the lead
stayed at 4-3.
Reed tripled to score Osmanski from first to add an insurance
run in the top of the seventh. That is all the senior pitcher would
need as she went three up and three down in the bottom of the
seventh to seal the win.
Individually, Osmanski and Reed went 2-4 with two RBIs on the
day while Fogle allowed seven hits, three runs, one walk and struck
out ten.
The Tars return to action tomorrow as they complete the weekend
series with Florida Southern with a doubleheader. Game one is
slated to begin at 1 p.m. For the latest news, updates, and
