Softball wins opener
Staff Report / The Collegian
Fresno State finally got its first game in — and it was a good
one as senior Jamie Southern tossed her fifth career no-hitter.
The Bulldogs scheduled opener in the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz.,
was canceled because of rain last weekend.
But, on Thursday, No. 21 Fresno State opened with a 5-0 win over Utah.
The Bulldogs lost their second game of the day to Oregon State, 15-7.
Southern struck out 14 in the victory, walking none. The Bulldogs’
two errors kept her from a perfect game.
Junior shortstop Christina Clark, Fresno State’s all-time leading
home run hitter, and sophomore catcher Nichole Willis each hit home runs
and were 3 for 4 at the plate for the Bulldogs.
It was Clark’s 39th career home run.
In game two, Laura Ferreira took the mound, allowing 10 runs (seven earned)
in 3 2/3 innings. Amanda Nesbitt gave up five runs in 3 1/3 innings of
relief.
The Bulldogs (1-1) face Notre Dame at 4 p.m. today.
