OXFORD, Ala. – Baylee Douglass tossed a three-hit shutout as SIUE softball advanced at the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament at Choccolocco Park.

SIUE scored the game's only run in the second inning. Allison Smiley was hit by a pitch and moved to second on a bunt sacrifice by Amy Hunt. After Morehead State picked up an out, Haley Adrian singled home Smiley with a base hit to center field.
