2023 NAIA Softball National Champions get their rings in October of 2023

The Raiders beat Marian, once more, today to earn another trip to the NAIA Softball World Series–their 6th trip in 7 years. Looks like Massey knows more than the coaches once again.

The timing made for some nice icing on Coach Harlee‘s birthday cake. Here is a photo from Harlee’s birthday six years ago.

The Raiders need just one more win (and will have two chances to earn it on Thursday) to make it to the final NAIA College World Series site again.

Faith Moultrie had two hits, two runs, and stole a base in the victory

Sammie Pemberton went two for four with two runs scored and an RBI

Katie Machado gave up just one run to one of the NAIA’s top ten offenses

I haven’t done one of these in a while, but I had a couple of people email me to say that it was a shame that the bottom of this photo isn’t visible here.
