KNOXVILLE, Tenn.— The No. 21 Miami University softball team downed Dayton 4-0 on Saturday evening in an NCAA Tournament elimination contest. Addy Jarvis' complete-game shutout helped the RedHawks improve to 49-8 overall, while the Flyers' season comes to an end with a 33-21 record.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• Miami recorded just one hit in the second inning, but managed to bring home three runs. Jenna Golembiewski opened the inning with a single, which was followed by three straight walks, bringing around Golembiewski. Chloe Parks then scored on an error and a ground out from Karli Spaid brought home the third RedHawk.
• Hadley Parisien's home run, Miami's 160th of the season, made it 4-0 after four innings of play.
• Dayton had the bases loaded with one out in the fifth, but a double play ended the scoring threat, helping the RedHawks maintain their 4-0 advantage.

GAME NOTES:

• Miami's 160 home runs is one shy of the NCAA record for home runs in a season, held by Oklahoma (161, 2021). 
• The contest was delayed three hours, 23 minutes due to weather conditions.
• Addy Jarvis scattered eight hits and added five strikeouts for the shutout victory. She is now 19-1 on the season after her ninth complete game of the year.
