Pitcher Madison Knight won in her collegiate debut against the Ospreys, tossing five innings of two-run ball with four strikeouts.

In total, all six of the tournament games were canceled on Saturday, affecting six different teams. Jacksonville announced they are monitoring the playing fields and will make a decision on Sunday’s contests at a later time.
