Fitzgerald is a two sport all-star for UCO. The 300 pound junior was named an All-American football offensive guard earlier this year.

Despite not qualifying for the finals at national Denitra Miller was the UCO women's lone qualifier for the meet.

In the first game, the Bronchos trailed the Savages until the sixth inning, when Jami Akin hit a grand slam to put UCO ahead 4- 3. Southeastern answered UCO's rally with a five-run seventh to stifle any chances of a comeback.

Chasidy Horton did smack a solo homer to make the final 8-5. Horton led the Bronchos at the plate going three for four with a double and a homerun, while Akin's grand slam gave her four RBIs.

In the second game, the Bronchos jumped out on top, as they put two runs on the board in the second inning. Southeastern scored three in the third. UCO added one in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game at 3-3.

With UCO leading 4-3 in the sixth, SEOSU scored one to tie. The Bronchos came back to score two in the bottom half of the inning to make the score 6-4. The Savages again had a big seventh inning as they scored three to walk away with a 7-6 victory.

UCO out hit their opponent 12 to 10, with a number of Bronchos having a good day at the plate.

Taralee Pringle was two for three while Melissa Foster, Chasidy Horton and Jame Akin all collected two hits in four at bats. Staci Dickerson also contributed two RBIs with a homerun.
