Box Score

LAKE WALES, Fla. – Showing no signs of rust, All-Conference pitcher Rebecca Powell pitched a gem of a game as she led the Warner University softball team to a 3-0 win over Ave Maria University Friday afternoon at Daly Field. The Royals open their season at 1-0 while the Gyrenes drop to 4-3 for the season.

Powell started on the mound for the Royals and tallied a career-high 10 strikeouts while giving up only two hits over five innings pitched. She along with Samantha Swofford , Nikki Helms and Kaitlyn Grimail shutdown the Gyrenes high-powered offense, who coming into today’s game was averaging more than six runs a game.

The Gyrenes also received a strong pitching effort from their starter, Samantha Crews who only allowed four hits over six innings pitched.

Leading the Royals at the plate were Danielle Fennimore , Tabatha Martin , Franki Grimes , and Jennifer Rioseco with one hit apiece. Fennimore finished with two RBI’s while Sun Conference Player of the Year Hope Franklin batted in the other run for the Royals.

Due to the weather conditions tonight’s exhibition game between the Royals and the Community College of Baltimore-County-Dundalk has been canceled and the Royals will return to the diamond tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. for another showdown with Ave Maria University.
