Lim, Vawter lead Stanford to 3-1 win over Murray State in Tuscaloosa
Alana Watt Settled well after a shaky start, spinning a gem in the Cardinals’ 3-1 win over the Racers.
Murray State hit base in the first after one inning and two pitches and grabbed an early lead when a comeback deflected off Vawter’s glove.
Stanford’s right-hander was pretty much spotless from there, hitting just 3 hits while hitting 8 in a full game.
The deficit didn’t last long Johanna Schroeder Tie the game 1-all in the second inning, ripping a string off the third baseman’s glove onto the plate Danny Hayes from the third.
Caitlin Lynn Breaking the tie in the fifth inning, scoring an open shot in the left field and scoring quickly Taylor Kindsberg and Sydney Huff.
