EAST LANSING, Mich. – Oakland University Softball fell 9-0 in five innings against Michigan State University in East Lansing on Sunday afternoon.

Oakland would go up and down the order for the first couple of stanzas before Michigan State would get into the scoring column off a two RBI single to put the Spartans up 2-0 after the third inning.

Cammie Brummitt would reach first base off an error but would be left stranded as OU's defense would get themselves out of a jam in the bottom of the fourth for no runs by MSU ahead of Jessie Munson's single to second base as the only hit of the afternoon for Oakland.

In the bottom of the fifth, a walk and a single down the right field line would put Sparty on base as a double would bring two more runs across for MSU ahead of the home team's score off an OU error. A grand slam homer would seal the deal in short innings for Michigan State at 9-0.

• Munson records OU's only hit of the afternoon
