Softball team on cusp of making state tournament

South Florida State College is 3-19 in the conference but has played well against the Titans this season. Kaycee Torres is 6-5 with a 2.81 ERA and is hit ting .298 this season.

Starting pitcher Mandy Hedetniemi-Taylor has allowed two runs in the past 12 innings and is 13-5 this season with a 1.94 ERA.

Brooke Theisen comes into the doubleheader hitting .438 with 20 RBI and 19 stolen bases. Teammate Kayla Domon is hitting .425 with six triples and has stolen 43 stolen bases, which is third in the state.
