[Softball] Dramatic win sends Rio to bracket final

Rio Grande Sports Information
    LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - University of Rio Grande centerfielder Morgan Santos has made her fair share of dazzling defensive plays this season.
    None, though, were bigger than the one made by the Dayton, Ohio senior on Tuesday evening.
    Santos' diving grab of a two-out line drive off the bat of Georgia Gwinnett College's Camryn Currie in the bottom of the seventh inning preserved a 6-5 win over the Grizzlies in the loser's bracket final of the Lawrenceville Bracket in the NAIA Softball National Championship Opening Round at the Grizzly Softball Complex.
    Rio Grande, which earlier in the day posted a 9-1 mercy rule-shortened victory over Georgetown (Ky.) College in another elimination contest, improved to 47-15 with the victory and equaled the single-season school record for wins.
    The RedStorm, the No. 2 seed in the four-team, double-elimination bracket, will face third-seeded Milligan University in Wednesday's championship first final at noon.
    A second final, if needed, would take place at 2:30 p.m.
