AUSTIN, Texas – It may have come a day later than expected, but it was no less sweet on Saturday morning at Red & Charline McCombs Field as No. 16 Texas softball (1-0) opened its 2019 campaign with a commanding 8-0 (5 inn.) win over Boston College (0-2) to provide new head coach Mike White with his first UT coaching victory.
Junior transfer third baseman Shannon Rhodes managed quite the Burnt Orange & White debut by going a perfect 2-for-2 with a double and two RBIs. Fellow junior transfer designated player Miranda Elish was 1-for-2 with a run and a RBI in her UT debut, while sophomore second baseman Janae Jefferson (1-for-2, run) and junior first baseman Kaitlyn Washington (1-for-2, run, triple) each knocked in a pair.
