RALEIGH, N.C. – Troy's offense ignited for four extra-base hits to power past NC State, 7-0, and mark the Trojans' second shutout over a Power Five opponent this season Tuesday at the Dail Softball Stadium.
Four of Troy's eight hits went for extra-bases, two doubles and two home runs, and accounted for all six of Troy's RBIs.
With the win over NC State (19-7), Troy (16-6) has now notched four wins over Power Five opponents for the first time since 2012 (Ole Miss, No. 25 Ohio State, No. 22 LSU, NC State).
Leanna Johnson (10-2) jumped out of the gate firing on all cylinders as she retired the side via strikeout in the opening frame.
