NACOGDOCHES, Texas- The Stephen F. Austin softball team began their three-game series against the Northwestern State Lady Demons.
With both teams pitching their aces in Mattison Buster and Crimson Bryant, this game quickly turned into a pitcher's duel as the first three innings were scoreless. Northwestern State was able to get two runs across after a couple of defensive miscues put two runners on for a two-RBI double from Britt Bourgoyne, 2-0. The Jacks were unable to get anything going as Buster held SFA scoreless the rest of the game.
