Saluki softball capitalizes on errors to win Day Three of Lion Classic

Sophomore pitcher Savanna Dover delivers a pitch during the Salukis' 6-7 loss April 6, 2015, against Saint Louis University at Charlotte West Stadium. Dover pitched three innings allowing two runs batted in.

Dover threw the third complete game shutout for SIU (3-2) on the weekend as the Salukis defeated the Buffalo Bulls (1-4) in a mercy-rule shortened 8-0 victory on Sunday.

"It all started in the circle," coach Kerri Blaylock said. "[Dover] threw fantastic today."

Dover finished the game allowing just four baserunners: three hits and one walk.

Eleven of her 15 recorded outs were groundouts, which Blaylock said is a huge positive for the team.
