The Fresno State women’s softball team opened its season at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Arizona last weekend. The ‘Dogs came out 3-2 after facing five Power-5 schools.
They dropped their first game against No. 3 Oregon, 8-0, last Friday morning.
The Ducks finished last season as a national semifinalist in the Women’s College World Series and returned their entire pitching staff with a combined 54-8 record.
One of those pitchers, Miranda Elish, held the ‘Dogs to one hit and a walk while she threw nine strikeouts in the contest. That lone hit came from senior Savannah McHellon in the first inning.
