In the third and fourth games of the 2nd Boerner Invitational, the softball team (2-10) was able to split a doubleheader against Missouri State University and Wichita State University on Saturday at Allan Saxe Field.
Game 1: UTA 3, Missouri State 2
The beginning of the game showed signs of how defensive it would be, as freshman outfielder Reagan Hukill flashed the leather and threw a strike to second base to throw out a baserunner.
The UTA pitching staff was stingy throughout, especially senior pitcher JoJo Valencia. She finished her day throwing 4.2 innings, giving up just four hits and one run.
