Game 1
The Southern Miss softball team started its 2020 season Friday night with an 8-0 win in six innings against Mississippi Valley State.
Southern Miss leapt ahead in the first inning with two hits and two runs. In her first collegiate game, Freshman catcher Hannah Borden hit a double far right, sending Karley Nichols home for the team’s first run of the year. Borden then ran home on a ball hit center field from Amber Pack.
“Honestly, I didn’t really know what to expect, but after the first, I felt pretty good and it kinda just went from there,” Borden said.
