HOW IT HAPPENED:
Eight different players tallied at least one RBI as NSU chased Bloomfield starting pitcher Jillian Holmes prior to an out even being recorded. The Sharks set the tone with four runs in the first inning and seven more in the second before Sydney Lageyre put the finishing touches on the eventual run-rule with a three-run blast in the third. The run-rule victory marked the team's third in its last eight games.  

INSIDE THE STATS:
  • Lageyre certainly had a game to remember, finishing 2-for-4 at the plate with four RBI and two runs scored. The NSU lead-off batter also registered a walk and two stolen bases.
  • Ryleigh Langwell swiped three bags in the victory, going a perfect 2-fo-2 at the dish.
  • Madison Fine, Allie Janowiak and Tia Williams notched two RBI apiece.
  • Emily Hess picked up the win in the circle, tossing five shutout innings while surrendering just one hit and one walk to go along with a season-high nine strikeouts.

Records: Nova Southeastern (15-7), No. 7 Grand Valley State (12-1)
