The University of Delaware Blue Hens softball team opened their weekend at the Mizuno Classic in dominant fashion, claiming victories over two major opponents on Friday at the University of Virginia-hosted tournament.
Delaware blanked Ohio State 2-0 before defeating Maryland 5-2 on February 20th, marking a strong start to the three-day event. The Blue Hens’ success was anchored by stellar pitching performance from Josie Crossman, who took the mound for both contests.
Crossman delivered an exceptional day of work, throwing 10.2 total innings across the two games while surrendering just a single hit. The Delaware pitcher recorded 12 strikeouts and remarkably allowed zero earned runs throughout her appearances, earning wins in both matchups.
The double-header sweep gives Delaware momentum heading into the remainder of the Mizuno Classic, where they’ll look to build on Friday’s strong pitching and offensive production against quality competition.
