One of the factors keeping the scores low at the Division II Softball Championship during this week’s National Championships Festival (in addition to the great pitching) is the defensive effort from players who won’t take “safe” for an answer.

Humboldt State rallied to win in the bottom of the seventh, but Lopez left her mark on the game.

St. Edward’s rallied late for the second straight day to be one of the last two unbeaten teams standing in the Division II Softball Championship.
