almost every position. Pitching staff is top-notched. They had #2, #3, #4, #5 recruiting rankings every year since 2022. But our ladies played their hearts out and never gave up. Excellent season and we had a chance to host.

Stat line for Monticelli: Batters faced: 26 Runs 2 (1 earned) Ks - 2 BBs - 0 Pitches - 96 (62 for strikes, 64%) Fly ball outs-15 Ground ball outs-4 On the flip side, LSU had 12 hits, 6 ER, and 40 batters went to the plate. VT pitchers only gave up 3 BBs, with 2 Ks, but 146 total pitches. Of those 146 pitches 81 went for strikes. Proud of this team though. Just waan't their weekend. Looking forward to the future though.
