Congratulations to our Ohio Bobcats on winning the 2014 Mid American Conference Tournament Championship and earning an automatic berth to the 64 team NCAA softball tournament. This is the first NCAA berth for OU since 1995 and happened in dramatic fashion all week. 3 OU players also received MAC All Tournament Team recognition. Sophomore Savy Joe Dorsey (Grove City, Oh Central Crossing) went 4-0 and pitched all 34 innings, while giving up only 1 earned run. Savy Joe also threw a perfect game against #1 seed Ball State while also receiving MAC tournament MVP. Senior Alyssa Wolf (Junction City, Oh) hit .400 and made several amazing defensive plays in CF and Junior Dakota Pyles (Grove City, Oh Central Crossing) hit a team leading .538 while playing a solid LF. Two other starters are also from Ohio, Freshmen Casie Hutchinson (Lebanon, Oh) and Freshmen Taylor Saxton (Circleville, Oh Logan Elm). Casie had 2 key RBI singles in the Kent State game and played a solid 3B, while Taylor had several key hits and played an outstanding 2B. The scores for the tournament were as follows, 2-1 over #4 seed Kent State, 3-0 over #1 seed Ball State, 2-0 in 13 innings over #2 seed University of Buffalo and 4-0 over #2 seed U. of Buffalo. The NCAA softball selection show is tonight (Sunday May 11th) at 10:00pm on ESPNU. Congrats again on an outstanding accomplishment and go BOBCATS!!!
