TULSA, Okla. – Senior first baseman Jocelyn Sheffield sang the national anthem before the game, and hit a walkoff single in the bottom of the ninth inning, as Tulsa defeated UConn, 1-0, Sunday to complete the American Athletic Conference series sweep at the Collins Family Softball Complex.
Senior Caitlin Sill (17-10) pitched a 9.0-inning shutout for the Golden Hurricane, which improved to 32-18 overall and finished with a 9-9 conference record. Sill allowed just four hits, and tallied four strikeouts.
With the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the ninth, Sheffield lined a single into right field, scoring sophomore shortstop Shelby Estocado from third base to win the game.
