#4 UT Tyler Opens Florida Swing with Split Against Nova Southeastern

The UT Tyler offense provided great support at the plate for starter Tatum Goff's complete game, totaling 14 hits to eventually split the day 1-1 against Nova Southeastern

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. – The UT Tyler softball team split the day with an 8-2 win in game one and a 3-1 loss in game two on Friday afternoon against Nova Southeastern.
 
Junior Tatum Goff moved to 15-0 on the year with her ninth complete game of the season to make the most of 14 hits by the Patriot offense in the 8-2 victory. Nova Southeastern jumped out to an early 3-1 lead after two innings of play in the finale and then found an answer to the UT Tyler offense in the final five frames to come away with the victory.
 
Goff struckout seven and allowed just a pair of runs, both of which came in the bottom of the sixth with an 8-0 UT Tyler advantage already firmly in hand. A triple in the top of the second from Michelle Arias scored Sam Schott and got the Patriot offense going in their weekend trip to Florida.
 
Schott doubled the lead on the first of four runs for the Patriots in the top of the third with two outs on the board, scoring Courtney Plocheck from third on a single to center. Arias notched her second and third RBI of the game on the next at bat with a double that scored Schott for a second time and Amanda Marek to make it 4-0.
 
Sophomore Cassidi Mullen recorded the third two-out hit in a row for the Patriots with a single that scored Arias to extend the advantage to 5-0.
 
Five different Patriots recorded multi-hit efforts in the game one win, including a 3-for-4 effort from Mullen. Arias tallied three RBI in the contest, joining Mullen and Marek with muti-RBI.
 
Goff went to work with the lead in hand and stranded the bases loaded in the second before retiring the Sharks in order in their next three trips to the plate. Mullen made it 6-0 in the fifth with yet another two-out rally on an RBI single.
 
A two-RBI single from Marek capped off the offensive output for UT Tyler in the sixth, before Nova Southeastern struck for their two runs in the bottom half of the frame. Goff settled in and stranded runners on second and third in the bottom of the seventh to close the books on her LSC-best 15th win of the year.
 
The Patriots scored eight runs off 14 hits, four of which went for extra-bases.
 
Nova Southeastern plated three runs in their first two trips to the plate in game two off starter Kaylee Davis, and finally managed to slow down a red-hot Patriot offense after a double in the second by Arias plated the lone UT Tyler run of the ballgame.
 
Senior Shea O'Leary stepped into the circle in the second and allowed just three baserunners to get aboard from that point forward, tossing 4.1 innings of shutout relif work.
 
UT Tyler posted four hits in game two, three singles and the aforementioned double from Arias.
 
The Patriots move to 23-4 on the year following the completion of play on Friday, and will head to Miami Shores, Fla. for a doubleheader tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m. CST against Barry.
