After suffering a disappointing loss and struggling defensively on Saturday, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga softball team responded in record-setting fashion Sunday.
The Lady Mocs wrapped up the Frost Classic with a 19-0 blowout win over Dayton in five innings at Jim Frost Stadium at Warner Park. The offensive outburst was the biggest run total ever under UTC coach Frank Reed and the most ever scored by UTC at Jim Frost Stadium.
They also tied a Lady Mocs team record with six doubles in the game.
“I’m really excited that we could score that many runs. We got to play a lot of people, and that’s always good,” Reed said. “The balls that we hit were not cheap hits. We hit them in the gap — we only had one home run and scored 19 runs.
“The thing that impressed me was the balls that we hit at people were hit hard.”
