After giving up five hits and four runs in the first two innings, sophomore pitcher Madison Azua knew it was time to refocus and regroup with Texas State trailing 4-1 to the App State Mountaineers.
“[I was] just trying to stay calm and know that I can get the job done,” Azua said. ”After that second inning, even during the second inning, I was doubting myself. After that I just came back in, knowing what I'm capable of knowing that [App State is] not better than me.”
Azua then pitched five scoreless innings, allowing no hits while striking out a career high 13 batters as Texas State scored six unanswered runs to defeat App State 7-4 to win the series.
