Saint Francis looking to power through Arizona, Tucson Regional

Saint Francis ended Thursday’s practice at Hillenbrand Stadium with a bang.

Lots and lots of them.

The Red Flash hitters launched one softball after another into the metal left-field bleachers.

Clang. Clang. Clang.

One of those blasts even soared over the seats, landing mere feet from where Arizona head coach Mike Candrea was conducting his pre-postseason interview.

“That’s quite a shot,” he chuckled.

But he won’t be laughing Friday when his pitching staff has to try to keep Saint Francis in the ballpark to kick off the Tucson Regional.

The Red Flash have crushed 83 home runs this season, more than any other team in college softball.
