Got some softball for you. Even if you don’t follow the sport, you can probably figure out that MSU pitcher Alison Owen had a heckuva weekend. She tossed a pair of complete-game shutouts, striking out 31 batters over 14 innings. First she struck out 15 against Wichita State on Saturday, breaking a school record. The next day, she topped that with 16 Ks of SIU-Edwardsville.
Owen’s exploits led to her being named the SEC co-pitcher of the week. On the year, the Georgia transfer is 5-1 with a 0.52 ERA, 65 strikeouts and just one walk. On Monday, we caught up with Owen as well as MSU coach Vann Stuedeman. I’ve got some video below. Enjoy.
I've covered Mississippi State athletics for the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (djournal.com) since August of 2008. I like sports, but I love writing.
