UU Comes Close to Knocking Off Top-Ranked Mankato

Blue Knights fall 3-1 in southern tour opener

CLERMONT, Fla. -- In its first game of the prestigious PFX Spring Games, Urbana softball (0-5) nearly knocked off the top-ranked team in Division II in Saturday's 3-1 setback to Minnesota State-Mankato.

The reigning national champions broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the sixth with a pair of runs against UU starter Kayleigh Pate. The freshman right-hander pitched great and fell victim to a bloop single and timely two-out double from the Mavericks.

After falling behind 1-0 on an RBI ground out, UU battled back in the fifth to even the score. Senior left fielder Riley Curtis led off the frame with a deep triple to right center and eventually scored on a sacrifice fly recorded by senior catcher Margo Jackson.

In addition, UU received base knocks produced by sophomore shortstop Mykee Holtz and freshman second baseman Britney Bonno in the contest.

The win was the 10th straight for MSU-Makato, which improved to 10-0. It was a much better showing against the Mavericks this season after the Blue Knights fell 15-0 to Makato in last year's Spring Games.

UU moves on to play Felician this afternoon at 2 p.m. ET in Clermont, Florida.
