CLEARWATER, Fla. — Marshall Softball was shut out by the Big Ten's Iowa Hawkeyes Saturday by a final score of 8-0 in six innings.
The Herd (0-4) was limited to two hits as it continued its struggles offensively in the first weekend against formidable pitching opponents.
Iowa (2-1) scored five in the opening inning but were held in check by transfer pitcher Paige Maynard. The Bolt, W.Va. native pitched 4.1 innings in relief, providing four-consecutive scoreless frames before an error proved costly in the 6th.
