Chronister propels Gators in game one
Katie Chronister pitched another outstanding game in the circle for the Gators. Sitting down the 3-6 Cardinals through the first three innings, Chronister ran into trouble in the top of the fourth inning. Despite striking out Cardinals catcher Taryn Weddle, she was able to reach base on a passed ball. On the next pitch, Cardinals designated-hitter Taylor Roby ripped a single to right-center field to set up first-and-third with one out.
After a mound visit from head coach Tim Walton, Chronister dug deep and struck out Makayla Hurst looking. Now with two outs in the inning, Chronister got Rebecca Chung to pop out to first base and get out of the inning with no runs allowed.
