SIU takes 2 in Southern Mississippi today beating Murray State 3-1 and North Dakota 2-0
Dawgettes 3 - 0. We've got some pitching this year with Madi Jo Harness!
Freshman Madi Eberle pitched a complete game 3-hit shutout in her first college start against Murray! Wow!
Sarah Harness also pitched a complete game 3-hitter, and Carlee Jo Clark pitched 6 innings of 3 hit ball with 8 SOs - not sure why Coach didn't let her complete the game!
Great start!
Softball team is currently up 6-5 in the bottom of the 8th against #24 Mississippi State. Runner on 3rd though with 1 out. On SEC Network + if you get that with your provider.

Should our Salukis get thru this weekend's Saluki Invitational still perfect, they HAVE to break into the Top 25 by then, right?
Make it 11-0 to start the year, as they just beat up on UIC, 9-4. That's now 20 consecutive wins going back to the end of last season.
Always good to beat Creighton
2 more wins today. A top 25 ranking coming?
