This was probably after Tyler’s third home run of the game or something…

Eight more days until the no-fans-permitted home opener. The NAIA national rankings came out today, and SOU is still ranked number one in the country.

Lauren Quirke

@SOURaiders @SOU_Softball @quirkey_15

A day after her perfect game, Lauren Quirke didn’t let up. Today she gave up zero earned runs, and just three hits, in a stellar, 7-inning performance against ranked Corban University. Her offensive stats were even more impressive. She went 5 for 8 with a home run, four RBIs, and four runs scored in the doubleheader.

Lest anyone discount her perfect game yesterday, given that it was against a D3 team, note that George Fox is ranked #2 (out of 374 schools) in offense for D3 programs by Massey Ratings. George Fox in their prior three games had scored 38 runs in just 16 innings!

Lauren Quirke delivers the pitch to batterymate Allie Stines

SOU swept George Fox University today in an away doubleheader. The second game, with a final score of 1-0, featured a seven-inning perfect game thrown by Lauren Quirke. Allie Stines had three hits and scored the only run for the Raiders in that game. Obviously, the above photo is not from today’s game as there is a runner on first. No one reaches first in a perfect game.

Today was supposed to be the first home softball games of the season. However, the games were shifted to Redding and then cancelled altogether when the field conditions worsened over the week. The new home opener (without fans) for the #1-ranked Raiders is scheduled for March 18.
