Mississippi State’s softball team dominated  Sunday against the Georgia Southern Eagles. 

Following an impressive 6-2 triumph on Saturday, MSU completed the sweep Sunday with a 7-5 victory, improving their season record to 34-16.

Toughness Sunday lived up to its name as the game extended to nine innings. 

MSU started off in the first inning  with a lead-off homerun by senior infielder, Julia Echols. Sophomore,Katie Anne Bailey added another run later in the first giving the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead.

However, a homer by the Eagles in the bottom of the first put them on the board and gave the team momentum in the next two innings as they outscored MSU 5-3 . 

The Bulldogs showed resiliency on defense, and were able to keep the Eagles stagnant the remainder of the game, thanks to starter  Cassady Knudsen and relief   pitcher Alexis Silkwood.

MSU capitalized on an Eagles’ error later in the fourth that allowed them to tie the game. Finally, in the top of the ninth, sophomore Mckenzie Toler crushed a right-field homer allowing MSU to secure the victory over the Eagles.
