BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Indiana State softball dropped its nightcap to host Western Kentucky, 4-0, Friday night at the Hilltopper Classic behind a complete game shutout from WKU's Kelsey Aikey.
Aikey (5-1) was dominant in the circle for the Hilltoppers as she helped guide WKU to their ninth-straight victory on the season. The right-hander allowed just one base hit while striking out 10 Sycamores (3-8) over seven innings of action.
Western Kentucky (10-2) jumped out in front in the third frame after notching a pair of runs. Jordan Thomas kicked off the scoring frame for the Hilltoppers with a leadoff triple to left field before crossing the plate two batters later when an errant throw to first allowed Thomas to scamper home.
