Voigt’s grand slam highlights another 8-0 MSU run-rule over ECU

WICHITA FALLS, Texas – Midwestern State's Lindsey Voigt connected for her first career grand slam as the Mustangs cruised to an 8-0 Game 2 run-rule of East Central in five innings Monday afternoon at Mustangs Park.

MSU earned a doubleheader sweep of the Lady Tigers as the Mustangs improved to 21-12 on the season and 8-4 in Lone Star Conference North Division play.

East Central fell to 13-15-1 and 4-8.

The Mustangs jumped on Lady Tigers' starter Dana McLaren with a pair of run in the first inning as Jessica Rodriguez drilled a run-scoring single to score Kristen Stonecipher all the way from first.

Amanda Potysman followed with an RBI-single to center to plate Rodriguez, who had advanced to third on a throwing error to the plate.

But Midwestern State was far from finished.

Tabitha Yannetti and Ashley Kuchenski added RBI singles in the third inning to extend the Mustangs' advantage to 4-0 before Voigt blasted her sixth homer of the season to dead center field with the bases loaded.

The senior catcher from Wichita Falls tied a career-high in RBI with the blast as she also drove home four runs on April 4, 2007 at Oklahoma Panhandle State.

Sophomore starter Katie Petersen (16-3) allowed four hits and fanned four in four innings of work to earn her second win of the day before Kuchenski came on to pitch a scoreless fifth inning.

McLaren took the loss for ECU after surrendering eight runs – all earned – on 13 hits in four innings to drop to 5-7 on the season.

Voigt, Rodriguez and Kellie Sledge paced the Mustangs with two hits apiece.

The Mustangs are now 11-1 in games played at Mustangs Park.

Midwestern State returns to action on March 26 when the Mustangs travel to Denton to battle Texas Woman's University. First pitch is set for 5 p.m. at Pioneers Field.
