4/11/2011 12:00:00 AM | Softball
In two appearances last week, Moulton allowed just eight hits in 17 scoreless innings of work and struck out 28 batters to improve her season record to 20-10. The Eagan, Minn. native threw a complete-game one-hitter against South Dakota on Saturday, carrying a perfect game into the seventh inning while striking out 13 batters. Two days earlier, Moulton tied a career high with 15 strikeouts against Iowa State, throwing all 10 innings as Minnesota picked up a 1-0 win.
The pair of shutouts for Moulton gives her 11 on the season, which ties the freshman for the third most shutouts in a season at Minnesota. Moulton is also close to breaking into the top five season records in strikeouts (236; needs 25 more to tie for fifth) and wins (20; needs three more to tie for fourth).
Minnesota returns to action this Wednesday with a doubleheader against Iowa at home beginning at 4:30 local time. Both games will be broadcast live by the Big Ten Network.
