On The University of St. Thomas Celts: The Celts are on fire this month. They have not dropped a game in April which has improved their record to 26-10 (22-4 SCAC) coming into this series. Although the Celts had a close call in game one of their most recent SCAC series against Austin College, they pummeled the 'roos into submission in games two and three to sweep the series. Junior catcher Chloe Bennett has been handy with the stick this season, mashing .413 with nine doubles, five home runs, and 49 RBI, all while only striking out three times. The Celts also have the conference's leader in Wins and Strikeouts on their pitching staff in sophomore pitcher Victoria Sossaman, who holds a 1.76 ERA, 108 strikeouts, and an 18-4 record. Tiger softball dropped a competitive series to the Celts at home last year 1-2 and look to improve upon the 6-9 record they have against St. Thomas historically.
