Scali’s One-Hitter Shuts Down Host Mavs in Weekend Finale
ARLINGTON, Texas – Redshirt sophomore ace Andrea Scali allowed just one hit as Kent State beat host UT Arlington, 1-0, in the finale game of the Maverick Classic on Sunday afternoon at Allan Saxe Field. The Golden Flashes improved to 7-2 after shutting out its second opponent in a row.
The Mavericks averaged more than 10 runs in recording three run-rule victories on the first two days of the weekend, but Scali (3-2) was able to cool off the hosts hot bats and finished with seven strikeouts.
Sophomore Sabrina Kerschner got the offense started with a single to lead off the bottom of the first inning. After advancing on a sacrifice bunt, however, Kerschner would remain stranded at second base.
