The University of Tampa women’s softball team picked up a 3-2 victory over Florida Southern College in the first of three series games.
Florida Southern came ready to play starting off Friday’s game with a run in the first inning. But the Spartan ladies came ready to play as well responding in the second inning tying the game at one.
Florida Southern had no comeback but once again the Spartans ready to play, had a run in the fourth putting them up one.
Florida Southern finally responded in the fifth and tied the score 2-2 at the top of the fifth. With the pressure on the tie was finally broken in the seventh. Ashley Arcuri and Michele Horan stood on second and third base with two outs already for the Spartans. The hero of the game Samantha Becker hit the game winner with a single to right field.
The Spartans would go on to win the game 3-2 with the other two scorers being Jessica Keefe and Jessica Tejas.
Susan Jallo’s plays third base for the Spartans. She is a freshman from Dunedin, Florida; I spoke with her after the game. “This was an important game for us because we really needed to come out on top.””With the game being so close you never know what can happen but I’m glad we pulled it off,” Jallo stated with a victory smile on her face.
