SAN MARCOS, Texas – Leanna Johnson tossed a three-hit shutout, the seventh shutout of her career, to power Troy past Texas State, 3-0, in the series opener Friday night at Bobcat Stadium.

Leanna Johnson (24-6) earned the win after scattering three hits, three walks and striking out three batters to put zeros up on the board in all seven innings.

The Trojans (36-16, 17-6 Sun Belt) jumped on the board in the top of the second inning with a double to left center by Hope Hernandez that scored Stephanie Snyder who led off the inning with a walk.

Troy added a pair of runs in the top of the third inning when Bailey Taylor blasted a two-run long ball over the left field wall, her sixth home run of the season.

Megan King (16-11) suffered the loss for Texas State (25-21, 13-8) giving up three runs off of seven hits and three walks.

Next Up
The Trojans return to the diamond looking for their sixth consecutive Sun Belt series win Saturday at 2 p.m.

Quotable- Head Coach Beth Mullins
"We played a complete game innings one through seven. We pitched well, played great defense and really had some quality at bats back-to-back-to-back. I thought Hope Hernandez and Taylor Corbett did a great job sparking us at the bottom of the order. I am excited to get back out there tomorrow and fight with this group."

Notable

After Bailey Taylor launched a long ball in tonight's game, she now leads the team in home runs with six.
With Taylor's two RBIs, she recorded her 11^th multi-RBI game of the season.
