Bulldogs snap seven-game losing streak, sweeps Indiana State

The Drake University softball team completed a three game sweep of the Indiana State Sycamores, giving them their first three wins of the Missouri Valley Conference season.

The Bulldogs lost their first six meetings against conference foes, but look to be back on track after last weekend’s performance.

In game one of the series, junior Kailee Smith tossed her first career complete game shutout in a 5-0 victory.

This impressive pitching performance certainly set the tone for the remainder of the weekend games.

It was more of the same in game two, but this time freshman Abby Buie got her first starting nod since high school

“The team is down a pitcher, so I stepped up to help out the team,” Buie said.
