WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The Keiser University softball team posted a shutout victory over Webber International in a brisk 1 hour, 16 minute contest to improve to 29-2 on the year.
Keiser scored both of their runs in the second inning. Ava Stahl drove in a run with a single, and a sacrifice fly from Macy Schaaf added the second. That 2-run cushion proved to be more than enough on the day. Mackenzie Masternak was dominant in the circle, going the full 7 innings and allowing just 5 hits while striking out 4 to earn the win. Masternak entered the game leading the NAIA in wins and posted her 12th complete game this season.
