The Murray State softball team won their second straight series on April 23, through April 25, when they defeated EIU two games to one.
Game One
Junior right-hander Hannah James took the mound for the Racers in game one and saw trouble early. James gave up three hits in the first three innings, but the Racers defense helped hold the Panthers scoreless.
The Racers took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the third when senior shortstop Sierra Gilmore singled up the middle to bring home senior center fielder Jensen Striegel. The Racers extended their lead in the fourth inning with a double from senior first baseman Lexi Jones, making it a 2-0 ballgame.

Rain couldn’t stop Murray State softball from hosting a single game against Middle Tennessee State University on Tuesday, March 30, at 3 p.m.
While the Racers took the Blue Raiders ten innings deep, it was Middle Tennessee who had the last laugh with a 3-1 win at Racer Field.
The low-scoring game was nothing short of a pitchers’ duel as the Blue Raiders’ starter senior right-hander Amber Baldwin went all ten innings in the circle for Middle Tennessee, allowing only a single run on six hits and a walk. Baldwin also struck out three batters in the process.
