YOUNGSVILLE, La. (Augustana) -– The Augustana softball team quickly added a pair of games to make up for the contests lost Saturday in Youngsville, Louisiana. The Vikings concluded the Mardi Gras Invitational with a 7-2 win over Southeastern Oklahoma State. Earlier in the day, AU fell 1-0 to No. 24 Mississippi College.
Augustana sits at 3-3 on the young season while Mississippi College holds a record of 4-0. Southeastern Oklahoma State is 1-3.
Game One: No. 24 Mississippi College 1, Augustana 0
A sacrifice fly in the third inning was the only offense in the game, which went the direction of Mississippi College. In the inning, MC singled into left field then advanced on an error to third base. That set up Emily Rigney for the sacrifice fly.
Grace Glanzer, Augustana’s starting pitcher, tossed the complete game by giving up just four hits while striking out six. The lone blemish was the unearned run in the third inning.
In a nod to the Choctaws pitcher, Madison Jenkins tossed all seven innings, striking out five and walking four, but did not allow a hit.
