Michigan State softball has not had the start of the season that the program would expect. The team came into the day at 9-16, and struggling in Big Ten play, but on Friday, the team had a special moment.
For the first time since 2018, and the first time in the regular season since 2009, Michigan State took down their instate rivals Michigan. Michigan, known for their dominant softball program, got bested by the Spartans in Ann Arbor.
A 4-3 win propelled the Spartans ahead of the Wolverines on Friday. Trailing 2-1 in the top of the sixth inning, the Spartans plated three runs that proved to be the difference.
Madison Taylor threw great for four and two thirds innings, before handing the circle to Carsyn Cassady, who closed the door on the Wolverines comeback efforts.
At the plate, Kaelin Cash and Hannah Greer led the way for the Spartans, with both going 2-for-3 in the game.
The weekend series will resume on Saturday afternoon for a double header starting at noon, with the second game immediately following.
