The entire world, let alone the softball world, suffered a major loss recently.

 Alex Wilcox, a Mississippi State softball player who had a two-year battle with cancer, died Monday night. She was 18.

Wilcox was diagnosed with ovarian cancer before her junior season at Brantley (Ala.) High School in 2016.
