Offensive Struggles
Any time you take on a team of former stars regardless of sport, it is tough competition.
Look no further than USA Softball pitcher Cat Osterman. Despite last playing college softball in 2006 with the Texas Longhorns, Osterman has not lost her touch or power.
Throughout the 5.2 innings pitched for Osterman in the exhibition, she allowed just four hits and a walk. To go along with that, eight Gators struck out facing the left-hander. Ally Carda replaced the starter in the bottom of the sixth inning, and allowed no hits on her four batters faced.
For the Gators batting, it was the usual suspects, just significantly subdued. Cheyenne Lindsey, Kendyl Lindaman, Charla Echols and Julia Cottrill each notched singles. However, the Gators never mustered anything on the bases.
