Here’s a look at some of the best:

BLUE DIVISON

Infielder Jessica Reviera also was part of the Raiders win as she matched Draney’s linescore: 3-for-4 with a run batted in.

Infielder Kayli Kvistad went 2-for-4 and knocked in the game winning run in the seventh inning as Columbia beat Central 5-4.  Kvistad is a senior and has signed with Florida.

One of, if not the best, batteries in the nation belongs to St. Thomas Aquinas and that was on display Thursday as pitcher Meghan King, a senior pitcher signed with Maryland, threw a complete game shutout allowing only two hits and two walks while striking out 10. Catcher Gwen Svekis, an Oregon signee, went 2-for-2 with a home run.
