Adrian Gregory is cooking with gas to start the 2019 season. To start, the Lady Raiders knocked off Nebraska (twice) and Wisconsin. But now the team really made a state against twenty-first ranked Auburn.
The SEC is extremely proud of their softball, and the Auburn Tigers were by far the toughest challenge of the young season. But a 5-4 victory proved this team has the juice to improve upon their fifth place Big 12 finish from last year.
Last year, the bats were not the issue with 50 homers hit by the Lady Raiders. This year the pitching and fielding looks just as a hot, with only one team managing over five runs in nine games.
