KISSIMMEE, Fla. - - Ball State softball's pitchers combined for 12 strikeouts and did not allow an earned run, but the Cardinals could not get anything going on offense in losses to Oakland (1-0) and Lehigh (2-1) Friday afternoon in the Citrus Classic I at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
In Friday's opener, freshman pitcher Darcie Huber (Greenfield, Ind./Greenfield Central) dominated in the circle, holding Oakland to just one hit while striking out a career-high seven batters. She retired the side in order four times, including each of the final two innings.
