DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern weathered a three and a half hour rain and lighting delay to hold on to a 1-0 victory over Southern Nazarene in the series opener on Friday afternoon at the Southeastern Softball field.
Â
Game two for Friday was cancelled due to darkness with the final two games of the series set to pick up in a noon double-header on Saturday.
Â
Kelsey Meeks tossed her second complete-game shutout of the season, scattering seven hits over 7.0 innings and striking out two, including the final batter of the game.
Â
Destiny Riddle led the offense with three hits, while
Symphoni Shomo added two hits.
Â
Augusta Duty and
Mykaela Wallace had one hit each.
Â
Duty drove in the team's lone run.
Â
Southeastern was the first team to break through on the scoreboard when a pinch-hitting
Augusta Duty laid down a squeeze bunt to drive in Shomo in the bottom of the fourth to make the score 1-0.
Â
SNU would twice get runners into scoring position after that, but the Savage Storm would escape each instance unscathed to preserve the 1-0 win.
