COLUMBUS, Ga. – The Freed-Hardeman University Lady Lions fought off elimination in the 2022 NAIA Softball World Series by shutting out Webber International (Fla.) 3-0. This marks the third time this season the Lady Lions held the Warrior scoreless after beginning the 2022 campaign with a pair of victories in the Sunshine State.

It was an early start for Freed-Hardeman (53-5) with Kennedy Harris singling to shortstop to lead off the elimination game. After Catherine Crabb moved her to second base with a sacrifice bunt, Harris stole third on her patented delayed steal on the throw back to the pitcher. With two outs, Caitlin Mitchell thought she hit a foul ball down the left-field line and began to return to the plate. Thankfully for Mitchell, she saw the umpire signaling the fair ball and returned safely to first with Harris touching home to score the first run for FHU.
