– Senior All-American Jessica Hartwell broke the program RBI record in the No. 10 Texas Tech softball team’s 10-2 run-rule over Maine, Sunday morning at Tiger Softball Complex. The Galt, Calif., native recorded a team-leading three RBI against the Black Bears to reach an impressive 150 RBI in her career. She surpassed alumna Mikey Kenney, who racked up 149 RBI from 2010-13.
The Red Raiders bounced back from a slow offensive outing yesterday and out-hit Maine 12-1 in five innings. Heaven Burton went a perfect 3-for-3 with one RBI while sophomores Trenity Edwards and Breanna Russell belted back-to-back home runs in the first inning. Taylor Satchell was the other Red Raider to power a home run against the Black Bears.
Missy Zoch was masterful through four full innings and improved to a perfect 10-0 with the five-inning run rule. The junior transfer tallied seven strikeouts before freshman Morgan Hornback finished the game in the top of the fifth to complete the shutout.
Tech improved to 27-2 overall with their 11th run-rule victory of the season.
The Red Raiders return home to Rocky Johnson Field on March 22-24 to host the Oklahoma Sooners in their first Big 12 Conference series of the season.
