For the second time this season, Shocker softball beat in-state rival Kansas, 9-1. Sophomore Addison Barnard climbed back into the top spot for home runs in the country, while senior Pitcher Erin McDonald collected her second win against KU this season.
McDonald struck out seven batters in four innings and allowed only two hits. Bredbenner said McDonald did a solid job to keep some of KU’s top hitters away from driving the ball.
“Not the command that we are continuing to work for but she had good enoughu200bu200b stuff to keep them off balance,” Bredbenner said.”I thought she really handled a couple hitters really really well.
