SAN ANGELO, Texas – Kristen Stonecipher's RBI-single to right field lifted Midwestern State to a 3-2 win over No. 4 Angelo State in Game 2 Saturday afternoon at the ASU Softball Field.

The Mustangs improved to 33-25 and will go into the Lone Star Conference postseason tournament next weekend in Durant as the Lone Star Conference North Division's No. 3 seed after East Central upset Cameron earlier in the afternoon.

MSU ace Katie Petersen improved to 23-7 after limiting the Rambelles to two runs on six hits while striking out four and walking one.

Midwestern State jumped on Angelo State starter Brittany Cargill in the first inning as Lindsey Voigt stroked a leadoff double down the left-field line, then scored when Lauren Craig reached on a fielder's choice.

The Mustangs pushed the advantage to 2-0 in the fourth inning when Tabitha Yannetti scored on a Katie Petersen sacrifice fly.

Yannetti had reached on a leadoff single to left field and advanced to third on Ashley Kuchenski's double to the right-field gap.

Kuchenski's double extended her hitting streak to 12 games which is career-best and the longest this season for the Mustangs. It's also the third longest streak in program history and the most since Kristen Stonecipher collected a hit in 15-straight games last season.

But the Rambelles tied the game in the bottom of the sixth on a Laura Lopez two-run double to the right-field gap.

ASU's Whitney Meeks had led off  the inning with an infield single before Macy Baker laced a single up the middle. The runners would advance to second and third before Lopez's double plated them to knot the game at 2-2.

But the Mustangs answered with a run as part of a two-out rally in the seventh.

After Angelo State reliever Jamie Thompson retired the first two hitters of the inning, Maranda Bishop singled to left field and Jessica Rodriguez singled up the middle before Stonecipher's single to right field plated Bishop as the go-ahead run.

Thompson took the loss for the Rambelles to fall to 4-3 after allowing one run on three hits in one inning.

Rodriguez and Stonecipher paced a nine-hit Mustangs' attack with two hits each.

The Mustangs will begin the LSC postseason tournament against either Tarleton State or Abilene Christian next Friday at the All-Sports Complex in Durant, Okla.

Angelo State fell to 42-10.
