In the first game of a season opening double header, Mississippi State was able to clinch their first win of the season. Alexis Silkwood’s dominant effort in the circle was a huge reason that MSU was able to come away with the win.
Silkwood threw a complete game en route to getting what was recorded as her first win of the season as well. She only surrendered 3 hits and 2 walks in 7 innings of work while she struck out 5 of the 27 batters she faced.
When the Bulldogs were at the plate, they were able to get timely hits that allowed them to score enough runs to create an insurmountable lead.
