TEMPE, Ariz. – The University of Northern Iowa softball team earned their fifth and sixth straight wins on Friday, defeating Montana 7-1 before beating Michigan State XX-XX in a high scoring affair at the Littlewood Classic. The Panthers (6-2) have outscored their opponents by an average of just over seven runs per game during their winning streak.
Alyssa Buchanan tossed just over six innings worth of perfect softball, retiring 19 straight Grizzly batters to keep them off base and off the scoreboard. Buchanan got some help from her stingy Panther defense behind her, as they played error free softball while the junior pitcher struck out six batters on her way to her third win of the season.
