SAN MARCOS, Texas – Despite starting pitcher Jessica Mullins striking out a season-high seven in a complete-game effort, Texas State was shut out for the first time this season as South Dakota State beat the Bobcats 2-0 on Friday at Bobcat Softball Stadium.
Texas State (4-3) only mustered two hits but had runners on base in four of the seven innings at the plate. The Bobcats had a runner in scoring position in the second and third innings, but ended up stranding five total against SDSU starting pitcher Tori Kniesche.
Kniesche completed her fourth shutout of the season as she has yet to allow a run this season in five appearances (four starts).
