The Falcon softball team took down the Fort Wayne Mastodons 1-0 on Wednesday afternoon, as the team earned their first shutout at home this season.
“Defense definitely won this game today,” Falcons head coach Sarah Willis said. “Any time you come out on top of a 1-0 ball game, your defense has to be good and the pitchers definitely have to do their job. That’s what happened today, and the pitchers even contributed to the defense today.”
The Falcons started out the game with an RBI single from senior shortstop Aspen Searle in the first inning, capitalizing on a triple by sophomore outfielder Kendyl Wheeler, however the game would go scoreless throughout the remaining six innings.
