Softball Concludes Competition at FSU Invite

Colleen Greene

After giving up three early runs in the bottom of the second to ASU, Buffalo fought back with a late game offensive push in the top of the sixth. Colleen Greene (Cheektowaga, NY/Cleveland Hill) drew a walk to start the inning and freshman Liz Hauke (Maine, NY/ Seton Catholic) then reached on a fielder’s choice. Erin Zilka (Benicia, CA/Benicia) walked to load the bases for freshman Sharon Barr (Coarsegold, CA/Yosemite Union). Barr then tied the game, helping her own cause as the pitcher roped a three-RBI double to left center field.

Unfortunately for UB, Appalachian State tallied two more runs in the bottom of the inning, extending its lead over the Bulls, 5-3.

Brittany Hussong (Rochester, NY/Nazarath Academy/Monroe CC) and Hauke each grabbed their first season and first career hits for Buffalo while freshman Katie Ivancich (Dyer, IN/Andrean) also threw in a hit in addition to Barr’s sixth inning double.

No.21 Georgia took the tournament title, defeating No. 25 Florida State 2-1 in the championship game.

The Bulls return to action on Wednesday, March 14 with a doubleheader against Boston University.
