The same Sam Houston State team that NSU swept on Sunday turned around and exacted revenge on NSU's most prominent softball "alumnus." Baylor is coached by former Lady Demon assistant coach (1991-93) Glenn Moore, a former Demon tight end in football who married Lady Demon school high jump record setter Janice Miller.
Glenn's head softball coaching friend from his NSU days, Ricky McCalister, dropped by Thursday to visit and told us about the following upset. Here's the Southland Conference's recap:
Sam Houston State Upsets No. 23 Baylor
In game one of a doubleheader Tuesday, Sam Houston State upset the No. 23 ranked Baylor Bears. Senior Morgan Mikulin pitched a four-hit shutout to record her eighth win of the season. Mikulin had four strikeouts and did not allow a walk. She also contributed offensively driving in one of four RBI scored by the Bearkat offense.
Meanwhile, another indication of the high caliber of softball in the SLC took place a night later. Again, courtesy of the SLC, here's the scoop:
Texas State Stuns No. 15 Texas
Texas State senior Leah Boatright hit a three-run walk-off home run to upset the No. 15 ranked Texas Longhorns at Bobcat field Wednesday. The win ends a three year streak of losing to the Longhorns at home. Boatright went two-for-two with five RBI and two home runs.
