Softball's Season Comes To A Close In NCAA Tournament, 4-3
May 17, 2025 | Softball
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The 2025 Carolina softball season came to a close with a 4-3 loss to Miami (OH) on Saturday afternoon.
Â
The RedHawks were able to put up all four runs in the top of the second inning. The Tar Heels would fight back though. In the third Lexie Roberts brought Bryten Burns home to get UNC on the board.
Â
In the third inning, Shelby Barbee was mere inches away from a game tying three run homer that bounced off the very top of the wall and scored Sanaa Thompson.
Â
In the sixth Carlie Myrtle blasted her 17th home run of the season to make it a one run game. The senior capped off her career with a homer in her last at bat that sent her to sixth most RBI in a single season, finishing with 57 on the season. She also finishes fifth in single season program history for home runs.
Â
Britton Rogers came into the game and did all she could to keep the Tar Heels in the game, throwing 5.2 masterful innings without allowing an earned run while only allowing two hits. The senior left it all out in the circle in her final game.
