Des Moines, Iowa – The Drake softball team began its weekend with a series opening win over the Illinois State Redbirds by a score of 4-1 on Friday night from Ron Buel Field. The Bulldogs were fueled by the hot bat of Emma Dighton, who drove in three runs and finished just a double shy of the cycle.
The two first innings of the contest between Drake and Illinois State flew by on a rather cool and calm Friday night in Des Moines as neither side put up any runs in the early goings.
