The MSU softball team recorded 4-0 and 5-0 victories at Oakland on Tuesday, its first doubleheader sweep against the same opponent since the 2002 season.

Sophomore Rachel Turney and Freshman Lesley Noel each pitched the complete-game shutouts in the doubleheader sweep.

Turney's shutout was the second time in her last three starts that she has blanked an opponent. She struck out eight batters, one short of her season best.

The Spartans got on the board in the third inning on a two-run double by senior second base Janette Hurtado and added two more runs in the fifth inning.

The Golden Grizzlies came up with three two-out hits in the first four innings, but Turney was able to keep them off the board en route to her tenth victory of the season.

In the second game, MSU got on the board early and after scoring a run in the first inning, it never looked back in the second game.

The Spartans scored four runs in the third inning on four hits and three Oakland errors.

Noel faced the minimum hitters in the first three innings and allowed her first hit in the fourth inning. She ended up allowing three hits on the day while striking out four and picked up her first collegiate shutout.

MSU starts the weekend Friday and faces Iowa at 4 p.m.
