CLEARWATER, Fla. – Behind 5 RBIs from senior Lacy Kohl, the Syracuse softball team (12-8) defeated Virginia Tech (15-10), 5-0, in its final game at the USF Under Armour Invite on Sunday, March 11. Kohl matched her career-best in RBIs, collecting the majority of them on her first inning-grand slam.
Fellow senior Jenna Caira threw a complete game shutout for her third win of the weekend and ninth of the season. Caira allowed three hits and struck out five batters over seven innings. Shirley Daniels, Kohl, Morgan Nandin, and Stephanie Watts all recorded two hits, as well.
After singles by Daniels and Watts and a Lisaira Daniels walk, the bases were loaded for Kohl in the first inning. Kohl smashed the ball to left center field and it soared over the fence to give the Orange a 4-0 advantage.
Syracuse struck again in the fourth inning. With Watts on second base, Kohl hit a line drive to left field. The left fielder attempted to corral the ball, but made an error and Watts made it home. With Kohl's fifth and final RBI, the Orange took a 5-0 lead.
Caira cruised through seven innings. The Toronto native gave up two hits through four and fanned three Hokies. She collected two more strikeouts on the day en route to her second victory in as many games. Jasmin Harrell, sister of sophomore Jasmine Watson, started for Virginia Tech.
The Orange is back on the field on Tuesday, March 14 in Clearwater against Bradley. Action is set to begin at 2:00 p.m.
