Interesting factoid re: Softball

Opening conference series for both MU & 5 time defending champ ULL at the Dot. In game 1 of 3 the Herd scores 2 in the bottom of the sixth to surprise the Cajuns 6-5. Herd ace Bub Ferenga throws 143 pitches in a complete game performance. Cajuns take the nightcap 7-1. ULL has a NCAA best 89 series winning streak on the line when the 2 teams square off in the rubber match at 4:00 this afternoon. Break the streak!!

Herd up 10-4 bottom of 5th.

Herd takes the series. First series loss for the Cajuns since 2013.

Proud of Coach Zerkle & obviously Bub, who throws her 2nd complete game victory in as many days.

Wish we had 2 more Bub's on the staff.
That would make us legit for the league title.

From the little I know about softball, one really good one + some reliable starters/relievers can take a team pretty far.
ULL was #40 coming into this series….

Yep. One good starter can take a team far. Obviously having 2-3 good ones can win title and beyond. Easier said than done, I know.
