SAN MARCOS, Texas – On its second day in Texas, the BYU softball team was on the wrong side of a 2-1 pitching duel against Texas State on Thursday evening.

"Tonight’s game was a pitcher's duel," BYU head coach Gordon Eakin said. "We had runners in scoring position several times and couldn’t get the timely hit."

Player Highlights:

  • Alyssa Podhurcak: 3-3, 1R, RBI, HR
  • Autumn Moffat-Korth: (L, 5-6) 6.0 IP, 2ER, 6K

After a scoreless first inning, Podhurcak gave BYU the 1-0 lead on her second homer of the week. A two-run single gave Texas State the lead in the bottom of the third frame.

Moffat-Korth downed the three batters she faced in the bottom of the sixth but the Cougars were unable to get one across in the top of the seventh and the Bobcats took the 2-1 win.

The Cougars will play their final game in San Marcos, Texas against UTSA on Friday, March 12 before heading to Austin, Texas for a doubleheader on Saturday.
