Murray State Falls to Northwestern

The Racers drop 7-0 game to Northwestern
Murray State softball (10-7) fell 7-0 to the Northwestern Wildcats (12-4) on Saturday at the Coach B Classic in Carbondale, Illinois.
The Racers held off the power of the Northwestern bats as long as they could but with the wind blowing out to left field, the Wildcats hit three long balls, all to left.
Murray State put two runners on in each of the bottom of the first and third but were unable to push any runs across.
Back-to-back home runs by Northwestern broke the scoreless tie in the fourth and chased starting pitcher Hannah James from the game. Jenna Veber came on in relief as the Wildcats added three more on her in the sixth to go up 5-0.
The Wildcats made it 7-0 in the seventh, hitting a two-run shot off of Emma Olejniczak.
Offensively, the Racers were led by Logan Braundmeier who picked up two of Murray's four hits. Gracie Osbron and Kamryn Carcich each had one.
The Racers are back in action tomorrow against Ball State and SIU at 2:15 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. in Carbondale, Illinois.
