Softball Sweeps Southern Miss, Increases Win Streak to 17 Games

Marshall University Softball increased its win streak to 17 after winning all three games this past weekend against Southern Miss.

The Herd hosted the Golden Eagles at home on Saturday for a doubleheader and took the first game 4-0.

Plastic bags were flying over the field as the wind picked up on Saturday, making it even harder to predict where the ball would land.

Senior pitcher Sydney Nester held the golden eagles scoreless in the contest and Camryn Michallas hit her first home run of the season which led to three runs. The three- run homer in the sixth inning secured the victory in game one after Rielly Lucas hit a single to the infield that let Grace Chelemen bring it home.
