BENTONVILLE, Ark. – Junior starting pitcher Lydia Feiste and sophomore backstop Kyleia Salyars worked together on five scoreless innings while knocking in a combined four runs in a Bulldog Softball 7-0 win over East Central (Okla.) Sunday.
 
Salyars went yard for the first time in the Purple and White going 3-3 at the plate while Feiste recorded her second-straight scoreless five innings of work. Truman State took a 9-0 win over Alva Early Memorial Tournament host Arkansas at Monticello Saturday where Feiste also tallied two RBI with a walk and a hit.
 
Sophomore first baseman Charlotte Chelich got things going for Truman State reaching on an error with one down in the first. Advancing to second on a single by redshirt sophomore Emily Wood, both would score when Feiste reached on an error staking herself a 2-0 lead after half an inning of play.
 
The fifth inning dinger by Salyars plated senior infielder Caragan Baker en route to a six total base day with two runs scored and a stolen base for the transfer catcher. Leadoff hitter Cassie Smith went 1-4 and scored her tenth run on the young campaign.
 
The 4-5 Bulldogs travel to Sioux Center, Iowa, for a pair of double headers against Southwest Minnesota State Saturday, Feb. 15, and St. Cloud State Sunday, Feb. 16.
