On May 2, 2021, the UConn softball team had a tough battle against the St. John’s softball team at the Burrill Family Field in Storrs. Unfortunately, the Huskies fell to the Red Storm 2-0 in the recent softball game.
The St. John’s Red Storm came out strong, scoring one run within the top of the first inning, starting with a single hit from Marissa. Rizzi then stole second base and further advanced to third on a wild pitch. Rizzi eventually scored when her teammate Kaitlin Mattera hit a sacrifice fly to second base: Mattera got credit for that RBI. The Huskies didn’t come out too strong, as the first three players were called out in order for a 1-2-3 inning.
