The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga softball team is in the Southern Conference tournament championship game. And unfortunately for the rest of the SoCon, the Lady Mocs appear to be getting better with each game in the tournament in Statesboro, Ga.
UTC pounded UNC Greensboro 13-0 in the winners-bracket final Friday and plays today at 1:30 p.m. for the title, having to lose twice.
The regular-season champions took a 1-0 lead in the first inning and blew the game open with a four-run sixth inning and a seven-run seventh.
“It’s so much easier when we play like who we are and put a bunch of runs on the other team,” UTC coach Frank Reed said. “Then we can go out and do what we do and make the opponent try to play catch-up.”
Senior third baseman Tiffany Baker went 3-for-5 with four RBIs as the Lady Mocs (41-12) had a season-high 20 hits against the Spartans (26-30), who play this morning in the losers-bracket final.
