TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – For the second time in 2018, a clutch hit by Alyssa Rivera was the difference-maker against Kennesaw State as the Tigers defeated the Owls 5-2 in the NCAA Regional in Tallahassee Friday at JoAnne Graff Field.
“I thought our energy was great; thought our effort was even greater,” head coach Mickey Dean said. “We talked about it at the beginning of the season, keeping count of how many extra ground balls we can get in the infield and stretch them into singles or turn them into singles. That was really the difference in that game; we were able to take some ground balls where we really hustled down the line and we turned a routine play into a base hit.
