Bears Shut Down Paladins in Series Finale, 1-0
4/15/2017 4:18:00 PM | Softball
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Mercer retired 18 of Furman's last 19 batters and limited the league-leading Paladins to only three hits as the Bears claimed a 1-0 win in the series finale at Pepsi Stadium Saturday afternoon.
Â
The lone run of the game as Emma Andrew hit a sacrifice fly in the second inning to plate Quirisa Mauga, who led the inning off with a single. Caroline Taylor moved her to second with a sacrifice bunt and a single by Taylor Rodgers put her 60 feet from home.
Â
Furman (23-17, 7-2 Southern) would manage only one more hit after that as the Bears (20-26, 6-6) retired 18 of their last 19 batters. Megan Bilgri (9-7) pitched a complete game shutout and did not allow a run or a walk while fanning one.
Â
PLAYER OF THE GAME
Megan Bilgri gets the nod in her complete game shutout performance. After throwing nearly 40 pitches in 2 2/3 innings of relief in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader, Bilgri made quick work of the Paladins in the second game throwing only 83 pitches in seven innings in the circle. She did not allow a walk or hit a batter in the game.
Â
STAT OF THE GAME
This mark is easily retiring 18 of Furman's last 19 batters in the game thanks to impressive performances by Megan Bilgri in the circle and the entire Mercer defense backing her up in the field.
