REVIEW
CONFERENCE USA CHAMPIONSHIP For the second-straight year, Memphis earned a victory to open the Conference USA Championship. The ninth seeded Tigers held off No. 8 UAB, 8-6, in Houston, Texas. Sophomore Leigh Rowan led the U of M with a 3-for-4 performance, including a three-run homer in the third inning. Freshman Kailey Kassner also had two RBI in the game, including a solo home run in the second inning. The win snapped an eight-game losing streak for the Tigers, which tied a program record. Memphis compiled 14 hits in the game with eight of nine starters recording a hit and eight different players scoring a run. It was the eighth time in 2008 Memphis reached the 10 hit mark. The Memphis softball season came to an end with a 9-1 defeat to No. 9/11 Houston later that day in the C-USA Championship. The Tigers were within two runs of the Cougars until a six run sixth inning gave Houston the run rule victory. Two UH home runs accounted for the first seven runs with five of the scoring players reaching on walks. The Tigers ended the year 0-8 against teams ranked in the national top 25. TIGERS SET NEW HOME RUN RECORD The Tigers totaled 48 dingers in 2008 for a 0.89 average per game. The total set a new program record, surpassing the 2007 total of 47. Memphis hit at least three home runs in two of the four games during week three in 2008 and did it five times this season. The Tigers hit a program record four home runs against Alabama A&M with four different players going yard. The team then equaled the feat against the Bulldogs on the road. The U of M finished the season ranked third in the conference in home runs. Memphis also set a program record in triples with five. BOSSOM LEADS C-USA IN FEWEST HOMERS ALLOWED Freshman Kimber Bossom tied for the C-USA lead in fewest home runs allowed with four. The
Second baseman Tori Gross hit .370 in the final two months of the season prior to starting the year with an .043 batting average. She finished second on the team in hitting with a .298 average and had 19 RBI.
RHP did not allow a home run in conference play in nearly 60 innings pitched. In the final game of the season, No. 9/11 Houston broke a 112.1 inning stretch without allowing a home run. Before the streak ended, the last home run off her came on March 5 against Central Arkansas. Bossom totaled four shutouts on the season in 155.1 innings pitched with 109 strikeouts. WHERE 2008 TIGERS STACK UP IN SEASON RECORDS Junior Kimmi Hayden led the team with a .311 batting average, which ranks third highest in the program’s history. Junior Leila Dolfo’s season marks ranked in the top five all-time at the U of M in several categories. Her .571 slugging percentage ranks second, 36 runs scored ranks third, 11 home runs is tied for second with her mark from 2007 and her 29 walks rank second. Junior Tori Gross’s team-leading .416 on base percentage ranks fourth. Redshirt freshman Heather Mott’s three triples is a single season record, and junior Leandra Hine’s 17 steals rank second. THEES RECORDS 250TH CAREER VICTORY Memphis head coach Windy Thees reached the 250 career win milestone against Alcorn State on April 15, 2008. In her eighth season and third at Memphis, Thees has a 252-173 career mark and 89-81 total with the Tigers. Thees hit the 200 mark last season.
Shortstop Heather Mott set a Memphis single season record in triples with three.

CAN I HAVE A GROSS Junior Tori Gross was the biggest offensive threat for the Tigers in the final two months of the season. After returning to the starting lineup on March 12, the second baseman hit .370 with a .580 slugging percentage, .463 on base percentage, 17 RBI, 11 extra base hits and only 13 strikeouts in 34 games. Prior to her hot streak, Gross was hitting .043. She finished the season with the team’s second highest batting average at .298 and was also second in slugging (.490), while leading the team in on base percentage S O F T B A L L

(.416). Gross had four home runs, eight doubles, 19 RBI and 24 runs scored. BACK IN BLUE In the second practice of the fall, freshman Maddie McKinley broke her ankle on a sliding drill and did not return until January, just before the start of the 2008 season. A starter in 26 of the last 27 games to end the year, McKinley broke out against Southern Miss with five hits, five RBI and two runs scored. In a five game stretch, McKinley hit .538 with a homer, three doubles and eight RBI. She hit .256 in conference play with seven RBI and two home runs. McKinley ended the season hitting .250 with four home runs, four doubles, 13 RBI and eight runs scored. She was one of two Memphis players named to the 2008 All-C-USA Freshman Team. BOSSOM THROWS NO HITTER Freshman Kimber Bossom threw a no hitter against Alabama A&M in a 9-0 six inning victory. It is the fifth no hitter in Memphis history and first since Jenna Kubesch threw one against Alcorn State last season. Bossom struck out a career high eight batters in the game. TIGERS TAKE SILVER The Tigers were the Silver Division winner at the Winthrop/adidas Invitational in Rock Hill, S.C. Memphis went 3-1 in the tournament earning victories against Gardner Webb, Vermont and Furman and allowed only two hits in each of those games. Freshman pitcher Kimber Bossom and senior center fielder Lindsay Kelso were both named to the all-tournament team. FREE SOFTBALL = THRILLING ENDINGS Memphis was 3-0 in 2008 in extra innings after pulling off a thrilling 5-4 ninth inning victory against Central Arkansas. Memphis has won seven of its last eight overtime games and are 9-6 all-time in extra innings.

REVIEW
CONFERENCE USA CHAMPIONSHIP For the second-straight year, Memphis earned a victory to open the Conference USA Championship. The ninth seeded Tigers held off No. 8 UAB, 8-6, in Houston, Texas. Sophomore Leigh Rowan led the U of M with a 3-for-4 performance, including a three-run homer in the third inning. Freshman Kailey Kassner also had two RBI in the game, including a solo home run in the second inning. The win snapped an eight-game losing streak for the Tigers, which tied a program record. Memphis compiled 14 hits in the game with eight of nine starters recording a hit and eight different players scoring a run. It was the eighth time in 2008 Memphis reached the 10 hit mark. The Memphis softball season came to an end with a 9-1 defeat to No. 9/11 Houston later that day in the C-USA Championship. The Tigers were within two runs of the Cougars until a six run sixth inning gave Houston the run rule victory. Two UH home runs accounted for the first seven runs with five of the scoring players reaching on walks. The Tigers ended the year 0-8 against teams ranked in the national top 25. TIGERS SET NEW HOME RUN RECORD The Tigers totaled 48 dingers in 2008 for a 0.89 average per game. The total set a new program record, surpassing the 2007 total of 47. Memphis hit at least three home runs in two of the four games during week three in 2008 and did it five times this season. The Tigers hit a program record four home runs against Alabama A&M with four different players going yard. The team then equaled the feat against the Bulldogs on the road. The U of M finished the season ranked third in the conference in home runs. Memphis also set a program record in triples with five. BOSSOM LEADS C-USA IN FEWEST HOMERS ALLOWED Freshman Kimber Bossom tied for the C-USA lead in fewest home runs allowed with four. The
Second baseman Tori Gross hit .370 in the final two months of the season prior to starting the year with an .043 batting average. She finished second on the team in hitting with a .298 average and had 19 RBI.
RHP did not allow a home run in conference play in nearly 60 innings pitched. In the final game of the season, No. 9/11 Houston broke a 112.1 inning stretch without allowing a home run. Before the streak ended, the last home run off her came on March 5 against Central Arkansas. Bossom totaled four shutouts on the season in 155.1 innings pitched with 109 strikeouts. WHERE 2008 TIGERS STACK UP IN SEASON RECORDS Junior Kimmi Hayden led the team with a .311 batting average, which ranks third highest in the program’s history. Junior Leila Dolfo’s season marks ranked in the top five all-time at the U of M in several categories. Her .571 slugging percentage ranks second, 36 runs scored ranks third, 11 home runs is tied for second with her mark from 2007 and her 29 walks rank second. Junior Tori Gross’s team-leading .416 on base percentage ranks fourth. Redshirt freshman Heather Mott’s three triples is a single season record, and junior Leandra Hine’s 17 steals rank second. THEES RECORDS 250TH CAREER VICTORY Memphis head coach Windy Thees reached the 250 career win milestone against Alcorn State on April 15, 2008. In her eighth season and third at Memphis, Thees has a 252-173 career mark and 89-81 total with the Tigers. Thees hit the 200 mark last season.
Shortstop Heather Mott set a Memphis single season record in triples with three.

CAN I HAVE A GROSS Junior Tori Gross was the biggest offensive threat for the Tigers in the final two months of the season. After returning to the starting lineup on March 12, the second baseman hit .370 with a .580 slugging percentage, .463 on base percentage, 17 RBI, 11 extra base hits and only 13 strikeouts in 34 games. Prior to her hot streak, Gross was hitting .043. She finished the season with the team’s second highest batting average at .298 and was also second in slugging (.490), while leading the team in on base percentage S O F T B A L L

(.416). Gross had four home runs, eight doubles, 19 RBI and 24 runs scored. BACK IN BLUE In the second practice of the fall, freshman Maddie McKinley broke her ankle on a sliding drill and did not return until January, just before the start of the 2008 season. A starter in 26 of the last 27 games to end the year, McKinley broke out against Southern Miss with five hits, five RBI and two runs scored. In a five game stretch, McKinley hit .538 with a homer, three doubles and eight RBI. She hit .256 in conference play with seven RBI and two home runs. McKinley ended the season hitting .250 with four home runs, four doubles, 13 RBI and eight runs scored. She was one of two Memphis players named to the 2008 All-C-USA Freshman Team. BOSSOM THROWS NO HITTER Freshman Kimber Bossom threw a no hitter against Alabama A&M in a 9-0 six inning victory. It is the fifth no hitter in Memphis history and first since Jenna Kubesch threw one against Alcorn State last season. Bossom struck out a career high eight batters in the game. TIGERS TAKE SILVER The Tigers were the Silver Division winner at the Winthrop/adidas Invitational in Rock Hill, S.C. Memphis went 3-1 in the tournament earning victories against Gardner Webb, Vermont and Furman and allowed only two hits in each of those games. Freshman pitcher Kimber Bossom and senior center fielder Lindsay Kelso were both named to the all-tournament team. FREE SOFTBALL = THRILLING ENDINGS Memphis was 3-0 in 2008 in extra innings after pulling off a thrilling 5-4 ninth inning victory against Central Arkansas. Memphis has won seven of its last eight overtime games and are 9-6 all-time in extra innings.
