Troy Downs Texas State in Series Opener
4/26/2019 9:24:00 PM | Softball
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."
