KISSIMMEE, Fla. - The Temple softball team got back on the winning side with two wins to open the Rebel Games in Kissimmee on Tuesday, March 8. The Owls defeated Bryant 3-2 before handing Detroit Mercy a 12-6 loss.
Against the Bulldogs, senior Kristen Marris went the distance on the mound for the win. Marris gave up just three hits and struck out six.
TU scored in the second, third and fifth innings. The run in the second game on a Bryant error, while the run in the third came off the bat of freshman Stephanie Pasquale when she belted the first homerun of her career.
