Last Time Out:
The Manatees have not competed since the two-day Courtney Miller Invitational (2/20-21). During the invitational, the Manatees finished 3-1, spliting day one by winning game one against Tallahassee (8-2) and losing game to St. John’s River State (7-5) before sweeping day two by upsetting then #2 Indian River State (now #9) (5-2) and defeating Chipola (6-2).
Initially, the Manatees were supposed to face Santa Fe College in two doubleheaders at home and on the road, but was cancelled due to a positive reading of COVID-19 on their campus. They then tried to set up a alternative series against Pasco-Hernando State as a last minute change, but was to be cancelled due to the conditions of PHSC’s field.
Sophomore Lauren Hutcherson is currently leading the path for the Manatees as she is batting .370 with four home runs and 14 RBI. Inc fact, Hutcherson is the only Manatee with more than 10 RBI. At the invitational, the Lake City native was 8-for-15 with a home run and three RBI.
Classmates Maddie Koczersut, Emily Hughes and Kristin Kopp have also played big roles in the Manatees offense. Koczersut is batting .326 with three home runs and seven RBI, while Hughes is batting .302 with a home run, nine RBI and six stolen bases and Kopp is batting .262 with a home run, eight RBI and five stolen bases.
On the mound, sophomore Ally Hulme and freshman Remi Herbert lead the path.
Hulme is currently 5-3 with a 3.28 ERA and 56 strikeouts (ranks tied for #22 in the nation). Hulme pitched in three of the four games in the invitational where she went 2-0 in 11.1 innings with 17 strikeouts.
Hebert is currently 2-1 with a 5.49 ERA and 21 strikeouts while batting .152 with two RBI. Hebert’s monumental game was the upset win against Indian River State where she threw a complete game with five strikeouts.
