MURRAY, Ky. – The Drake University softball team secured its third straight series win in Missouri Valley Conference play with a 4-1 defeat of Murray State on the road this afternoon. The Bulldogs scored four runs between the fifth and sixth innings to jump in front and take the victory.
Drake (18-18, 6-7) spotted the Racers (19-22, 6-10) a lone run in the first inning as Murray State's Adison Hicks singled up the middle to score Parker Holcombe. That early run turned out to be the host Racers' only score of the day.
Neither team could scratch anything across over the next three innings as the Racers held on to their narrow lead into the fifth.
