Spin‑Off Saturday: EFSC Titans Square Off Against Indian River in a Double‑Header Showdown
Hey, BREVARD COUNTY—if you’re looking for slam‑dunk softball this coming Monday, the Eastern Florida State College (EFSC) softball squad has got you covered. The 17th‑ranked Titans will hold court at the home‑grown Titan Softball Complex and will battle the top‑dish No. 3 Indian River State College in a back‑to‑back double‑header, starting at 4 p.m.
Why It Matters
While Indian River is already locked into the postseason, the Titans have their fingers on the prize with only four games left to find out if they’ll make the cut. Every inning in that double‑header counts!
Pitching Showdown
- Avery Velazquez (EFSC): 20‑9 record, stellar 1.19 ERA, 5 saves—the girl who’s making her freshman season look like a season.
- She’s thrown 156 strikeouts in 193⅓ innings and has 21 complete games—you could say she’s got the power to finish what she starts.
- On offense, Velazquez is hitting at a .423 average, with 7 homers and 59 RBIs—talk about a dual-dynamo.
- J’Dah Girgorie (Indian River): 28‑2 record, jaw‑dropping 1.06 ERA, 201 K’s in 158⅔ innings. This lady is a strike‑out machine.
- Girgorie has already beaten the Titans twice this season—her aura is practically a prophecy.
Speedster Stakes
- Indian River tops the nation with 290 stolen bases—that’s a lot of stealing short bases.
- Key speedster Anaise Piar leads the charge with 46 steals.
What Happened Recently
EFSC had a two‑game wobble against No. 2 Florida Southwestern State College on Saturday, dropping them to fourth place in the Citrus Conference. The double‑header now becomes the “game of the re‑game.”
