LEESBURG, Fla. – The Portland State softball team dropped its final game of opening weekend at The Spring Games, 9-1 to Michigan on Sunday. The Vikings finished the weekend 2-3, while Michigan improved to 4-1.

Olivia Grey held the Wolverines scoreless through five innings before their bats caught fire in the top of the sixth. A series of Portland State errors, a pitching change and six hits gave Michigan a 9-0 lead.
 
The Vikings were able to tack on one run in the bottom of the sixth when a sac fly from Emily Johansen scored Maddie Thompson, but it wasn't enough to avoid the run rule.
 
Grey fell to 2-1 in the circle, after holding Michigan to just one hit through five innings. The Vikings were held hitless by Michigan starter Jessica LeBeau.
 
Portland State will return to action in Arizona next weekend. They'll open the tournament against BYU and Arizona State on Friday, Feb. 17 in Tempe.
