A single in the opening inning of Texas State’s game against Incarnate Word on Wednesday didn’t faze sophomore starting pitcher Megan King.
When Cardinals junior utility player Delaney Guzman singled to third base on a 2-2 count inside Bobcat Softball Stadium, King steeled up. The team got the final out of the inning in the next at-bat and King didn’t allow anyone to reach base the rest of the game, securing a 2-0 victory for the hosts.
The right-hander’s teammates gave her a cushion in the bottom of the first frame. Junior infielder Bailee Carter took four balls to reach first base and moved into scoring position by stealing second. Sophomore infielder Tara Oltmann brought her home with a double to left field, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead.
