University easily dispatched New Smyrna Beach last Thursday, but unfortunately both the margin and the ultimate result were a different story in this one. The University Titans fell just short of the Spruce Creek Hawks by a score of 6-4 on Tuesday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest loss the Titans have suffered since April 6, 2024.
University got a good showing from Kendra Lee, who struck out six batters over 3.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits (and not a single walk). Lee has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, University saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Mia Fisher, who scored a run while going 1-for-2. Bella Delgado was another, going 2-for-3 with two doubles.
University has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-4 record this season. Spruce Creek pushed their record up to 5-3 with the win, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season.
