Arkansas softball rolls to SEC Tournament title with shutout win over Missouri

It is the year of the Hog in the SEC with Arkansas taking home the regular-season and SEC Tournament Championship this season. The Razorbacks shut out Missouri 4-0 on Saturday for the title.

At the plate, RBI hits from Danielle Gibson and Marlene Friedman were all the runs Arkansas would need. KB Sides scored 2 of the 4 runs for the Razorbacks.

However, the real story in the championship – and throughout the SEC Tournament – was on the mound. Chenise Delce went the distance in the title game, going 7 shut-out innings without issuing a walk.

Delce scattered 2 hits while striking out 5 Tigers:

Not just regular season champs, but SEC Tournament CHAMPS
