Pirates Fall to No. 13 Texas in NCAA Opener
5/19/2023 10:38:00 PM | Softball
Austin, Texas – The Seton Hall softball team opened its 2023 NCAA Tournament on Friday afternoon against No. 13 Texas, falling in five innings by a score of 8-0. The Pirates will now face elimination on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. when they take on Texas State.
How it Happened
Texas struck early in the game, plating runs in each of the first three innings to take a 4-0 lead. After Seton Hall starter Shelby Smith (Friendswood, Texas) retired the side in order in the fourth, the Pirates looked to get the bats going in the bottom of the fourth. Lela Allen (Phoenix, Ariz.) opened the frame with a leadoff walk, however a fielder's choice and a double play erased the threat.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Longhorns would put the game away with a four-run frame to take the game via run rule.
Notes & Numbers
Seton Hall will face Texas State on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. in the first elimination game of the Austin Regional. Should the Pirates win, they would play again at 8 p.m. against the loser of the Texas-Texas A&M game.
