The Michigan State Spartans’ softball team defeated the Akron Zips 6-0 in seven innings on Sunday afternoon.
The highlight of the game, however, was Michigan State sophomore pitcher Ashley Miller, who threw a perfect game in the win. She struck out 14 batters and improved to 3-0 on the season. Miller only allowed a total of 11 baserunners and zero runs in 21 innings pitched (three games) during the Northern Lights, Southern Nights invitational. She struck out 14 of the 21 batters she faced against Akron, with five groundouts and two flyouts.
MSU fifth-year senior Catie Ladd scored first on a wild pitch by Akron’s Olivia Stefanoni in the first inning.
