Fresno State will face the Lady Techsters for the third time this season, Fresno winning 2 out of 3 in Ruston. The 2 teams will probably send out there 2 aces with a spot in the championship game on the line. The Lady Techsters will probably send out there 2nd-Team All-WAC Meghan Krieg. She had a record of 20-5 with a 1.75 ERA (second in WAC). She also Struck out 208 batters good for 4th in the WAC. Fresno State will probably send out Morgan Melloh. “Moh” leads the WAC in almost every category including winning the “Triple Crown” of pitching for the second straight year strike outs (397), Wins (26), ERA (1.51) and opposing.
As a recap, Fresno State Beat the Techsters 7-0 and 3-0 before dropping a heart breaker in 10 innings (1-0). Morgan Melloh pitched very well getting the 2 wins not giving up a single run and striking out 29 Techsters in 18.1. Haley Perkins Lead the way for the Bulldogs bats going 5-10 with 2 RBIs, 4 Runs and 2 walks. LaTechs lone score came off a HR given up by Mackenzie Oackes in the 10th.
Keys for LaTech to win-
Latech need to get Moh out of the game. They were able to chase Morgan out in there long win after 4.1 innings. There bats have been hot in the tournament blasting 4 HRs in a pitchers ballpark. Also the Krieg that showed up in the 3rd game needs to show up for Tech to win. The Bulldogs have proven to be inconstant for most of the season. If Krieg can shut down the bottom half of the line (5-9 spots) they are going to be in a great spot to win this game.
Keys for Fresno State to win-
Fresno needs to stay patient and continue to mash the ball. The bottom of the order has really stepped up big for the Bulldogs the last few weeks of the season. Phipps in particular has come alive hitting .600 with 8 RBIs and 6 Runs scored over the last 6 games.
