Softball Recap: Northeastern Jets vs. Triad Cardinals

Northeastern had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. Everything went their way against the Triad Cardinals on Monday as the Northeastern Jets made off with an 8-1 victory.

Gracie Harris was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Harris was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and a double.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jayla Arnold, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-4. Renna Kelly was another key contributor, scoring two runs while going 2-for-4.

Northeastern will have a chance to go back-to-back against Triad: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
