Fresh off a heartbreaking extra innings loss to LSU, the Wichita State softball team began conference play by defeating the projected MVC champion Drake Bulldogs twice Saturday afternoon at Wilkins Stadium.
Squaring off against Drake for the first time since their victory in the MVC championship game last May, WSU cruised to a 10-0 run rule decision in game one, needing just five innings to finish off the Bulldogs.
Freshman catcher, Madison Perrigan got the scoring started in the first inning with a two-run double to right field, and an error on the second baseman allowed her to score the third run.
