#Keely rochard series

Kistler drew a one-out walk to put a runner on and a productive groundout by freshman Sam Roe move her into scoring position, but it was Goelz who set the tone for the rest of the game at the plate. Sophomore's Katie Kistler and Avery Goelz kept the momentum going at the plate and started a big three-run rally that eventually put the Gators ahead 4-0 over the Hokies. The duo limited a potent Virginia Tech offense to a season-low two hits as each only allowed one in the five-inning affair. Rochard was matched up with the combination of Florida's freshman starter Lexie Delbrey and fifth-year graduate reliever Natalie Lugo (11-5).

The 12 total runs are the most given up by the Virginia Tech pitching staff this season that includes All-American starting pitcher Keely Rochard (26-4).
