AUBURN, Ala. - - In a disappointing end to a disappointing weekend, Belmont suffered another shut-out loss, 0-8, to Murray State. The offensive and defensive struggles continued for the Bruins, who were shut out for the third time in the War Eagle Classic. The loss dropped Belmont to 4-10 on the season.

The Bruins used three different pitchers in the game and junior Ashley Byers got her second start of the season, while sophomore Courtney Elrod made her third relief appearance.
