Dream Season Comes To Close For Racers at NCAA Regionals
5/22/2022 12:52:00 AM | Softball
MSU falls to Chattanooga 1-0 in 8-inning elimination game
The single most successful history in the 13-year history of the Murray State softball program came to a close Saturday, as the Racers fell to Chattanooga, 1-0 in eight innings, in an NCAA Regional elimination game at Rhoads Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Despite out-hitting the Mocs in the contest, the Racers just could not find timely hits and left 12 runners stranded on the base paths. Murray State's best scoring chance came in the fifth inning when they had the bases loaded with one out, however after a near one-hour lightning delay, the Racers were able to push any runs across.
Logan Braundmeier led MSU in her final game in blue and gold by going 2-for-4, while Yanna Marrow was 1-for-2 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch. In the circle, Jenna Veber took the loss by allowing one unearned run on one hit over 2.0 innings. Hannah James began the game for Murray State and allowed no runs on three hits with five strikeouts and a walk.
The 2022 Racers became the first team in program history to win 40 games, a regular-season championship and an OVC tournament championship. Individually, Sierra Gilmore set a new career-record for RBIs, Hannah James set new single-season and career marks for strikeouts, Logan Braundmeier set a new OVC record four doubles and Lily Fischer set a new team single-season record for times hit by a pitch. Murray State also set a program record for postseason All-OVC accolades with seven, while James and head coach Kara Amundson were named as Pitcher and Coach of the Year, respectively.
