LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. -  A combination of solid pitching and a 10-hit offense resulted in a 6-3 non-conference, neutral-site victory for Mississippi University for Women over Cornell (Iowa) College, played at Covenant College.  The Owls improved to 6-3 overall, while the Rams dropped to 3-2 for the season.
 
MUW starter Tyler Temple (2-0) went 6.0 innings to get the win, in his first start of the season. Temple permitted three runs, just two of which were earned. The senior scattered five hits - while striking out three CC batters - without issuing a walk.
 
Sophomore righty Connor Reilly tossed 3.0 innings of scoreless relief, including working out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh to help The W preserve its lead. Reilly allowed just two harmless hits, struck out two Rams, and also did not walk a batter during his stint.
 
Six of MUW's 10 hits on the day came from its top three men in the batting order. Leadoff man Matthew Windham was 3-for-5, with a pair of doubles and three runs scored. Windham, a sophomore, drove in two runs, as well.
 
No. 2 batter Landon Clark went 2-for-5, slugging a solo home run – his first of 2024 - in the first inning and also an RBI double in the sixth among his hits. The junior first baseman had two RBI, as well.
 
Third batter Barton Brack was 1-for-3 with a walk.
 
Tyler Estabrook, operating out of the No. 8 slot in the order, was 3-for-4 with a run scored.
 
MUW will take on host Covenant College in a Saturday doubleheader, beginning at 11 a.m. (CT).
