10-1  Hoosiers win over Stony Brook in run shortened game.  Coach Stanton's 800th career win.  Women pounded out 11 hits with Minnick getting 3 and 3 others with 2 each.  4 players each had 2 RBI.  Jasmine Reyes pitched the entire 6 innings and allowed just 2 hits and didn't walk a batter.  Reyes is a freshman from Oxnard, CA.  They wrap up the weekend tomorrow but the opponent and game start haven't been determined.

Good response after the disaster in the first game of the season. Dominated since including killing a power-5 squad. Veteran team responded like I hoped to see.

5-4 Hoosiers lead and batting in the bottom of the 3rd.  Haven't seen all the box scores from this weekend's opening series but I think Melina got our first HR for the season.
