5/19/2019 6:59:00 AM | Softball
Colorado State recorded its first victory in the NCAA Tournament since 1997 before ending the season with a loss to No. 24 Auburn.
TUCSON, Ariz. – Saturday night was filled with history and heartbreak as the Colorado State softball team recorded its first victory in the NCAA Tournament since 1997 before ending the season to the hand of Auburn on Saturday night.
Â
Rams 6, Crimson 0 | Box Score
Â
The Rams earned their first NCAA postseason win since the 1997 as they shutout Harvard in the first game of the night. The shutout was Bridgette Hutton's fifth of the year and 13th for the team. Colorado State and Harvard were scoreless through the first five innings before CSU scored six runs in the bottom of the sixth frame off of four hits and two Crimson errors.
Â
Rams 0, Tigers 8 | Box Score
Â
Colorado State was held to three hits in just its second shutout of the season. The Rams allowed eight runs on eight hits for the Tigers as they scored four runs in the second and fifth frames.
Â
STAT OF THE DAY
Senior pitcher Bridgette Hutton tossed her fifth shutout of the season with a 6-0 win against Harvard.
Â
IN THEIR WORDS
Head Coach Jen Fisher on the day…
"In the Harvard game, we were so close and we kept putting together quality swings, hitting hard ground balls and we then we finally broke through. That was a great win against a really great pitcher. Hats off to them on a great season. Playing Auburn again, I thought we were well prepared. I felt the same way in that game and thought we were close to breaking it open. But a few miscues on defense and the game got away from us. I thought we still played are through the end."
Â
Coach Fisher on the 2019 season…
"From senior to freshman, it is a really great group of ladies. Hopefully what we put together this season becomes the standard. I think we can keep building on this. I defiantly asked those five seniors if they will keep coming back to keep mentoring the new players coming in."
