Box Score

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio—Junior Allie Cummins belted an RBI single in the seventh inning amidst a pitcher's duel to lift the Miami University softball team to a 1-0 win at Bowling Green State University on Friday afternoon. The RedHawks move to 34-7 on the season and 24-1 in Mid-American Conference play, while the Falcons drop to 20-23 overall and 12-16 in MAC action.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Miami tallied one hit in the first, third and fourth innings but was unable to muster any runs. Senior pitcher Courtney Vierstra had a no-hitter going through five innings for the RedHawks.
Bowling Green notched its first hit of the game in the bottom of the sixth, but the game remained a 0-0 stalemate.
With two outs in the top of the seventh, freshman Karlee Juarez singled through the right side and reached second on a BGSU throwing error on the next at-bat. Senior Taylor Rathe came in to pinch run for Juarez, and scored the game-winner on the Cummins single.
Vierstra gave up just two hits, walked two, and struck out six to improve to 19-3 in the circle for the RedHawks.
