Cowgirl Softball Picks Up First Win Of The Season
February 15, 2004 | Cowgirl Softball
In the opening game Mississippi State struck first, plating one run in the bottom of the first. The Bulldogs advantage would be short-lived as the Cowgirls took the lead for good in the second with a pair of runs.
With two outs Ashleigh Tweed tripled to center field and crossed home plate on a single from Shanel Scott. Courtney Totte followed with a double through the left side to score Scott.
Crystal Lee provided what would be the game-winning run in the third frame, a solo home run to left field.
The Bulldogs managed to score one final run in the bottom of the fourth but the Cowgirls hung on for the 3-2 win.
Jessica Hoppock picked up the win in the circle for Oklahoma State. Hoppock went the distance, allowing two runs on eight hits, five walks and four strikeouts.
Melissa Massey took the loss for Mississippi State. Massey gave up three runs, walked one and struck out four in the first three innings of play. Sara Hickerson and Stephanie Comeaux each threw two innings in relief.
Oklahoma State's game against San Diego State was suspended midway through the fourth inning due to darkness. The Cowgirls trail the Aztecs 10-2.
San Diego State scored in each of its at-bats; three in the first, third and fourth innings and four in the second. The Cowgirls scored one run in the first and third innings.
The Cowgirls and Aztecs will resume play at 9 a.m. Sunday morning. Immediately following the conclusion of the game, Oklahoma State (1-2) faces UC Santa Barbara in its final contest of the weekend.
