A huge first inning at the plate combined with a dominant performance from Cassady Knudsen gave Mississippi State a huge win over visiting Alabama State last night.
Mississippi State hit .520 at the plate, going 13 for 25, on their way to scoring 10 runs against an outmatched Alabama State pitching staff. The Bulldogs scored all of their runs through 3 innings, jumping out to an early 10-0 lead, putting enormous pressure on Alabama State early on.
Cassady Knudsen took advantage of the huge lead and was able to prevent it from being whittled away. Through 5 innings, she struck out 10 batters and walked a pair, earning her second career no hitter in the process.
