Vann Stuedeman and her ball club took on one of the best teams in the nation and battled them close all weekend.
Game 1: Auburn 3, Mississippi State 2
Friday, March 18th
In what was the longest softball game I can say I've ever paid attention to, Alexis Silkwood went toe-to-toe in one of the most incredible pitching performances in Mississippi State history. 13.1 innings with 216 pitches against a very rigorous batting order is incredibly impressive. Though it's frustrating to not come away with a win here, there's a lot to be proud of from Silkwood's performance, and runs come at a premium against Auburn's pitching staff.
