Mustangs keep bats hot, rout Texas Woman’s 14-6 in six innings

WICHITA FALLS, Texas - The Midwestern State offense remained redhot as the Mustangs pounded out 10-or-more hits for the fourth straight game in a 14-6 run-rule win over Texas Woman's University in six inning Friday afternoon in the MSU Invitational at Mustangs Park.

The Mustangs claimed their sixth-straight win to improve to 7-4.

MSU senior center fielder Maranda Bishop led the 13-hit parade by going 3-for-5 with a double while scoring three runs and driving in two more.

The Mustangs jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third inning highlighted by an RBI-double by Tabitha Yannetti and a run-scoring single by Mallory Mooney.

But that was just the first salvo as the teams exchanged runs before the Mustangs jumped out to a commanding 9-3 lead in the fifth inning.

MSU took advantage of three Pioneers' errors and sent 11 batters to the plate in the frame. TWU allowed the Mustangs to score six runs despite notching just a pair of RBI in the inning - run-scoring singles by Bishop and Yannetti.

Texas Woman's retaliated with a three-run, pinch-hit home run by April Mandel in the sixth to narrw the margin to 9-6, but the Mustangs tacked on five more runs to put the game away as Amanda Potysman highlighted the outburst with a two-run single to center field.

Sophomore Brittney Tanner allowed six runs - all earned - on eight hits with seven strikeouts and four walks to improve to 4-1 on the season. Katie Petersen came on to get the final two outs of the sixth inning to earn her first save of the season.

The Mustangs touched up four different TWU pitchers for runs, but Alli Packer was saddled with the loss after allowing four runs - three earned - on two hits while walking three in 1 1/3 innings of work after the Pioneers had rallied to knot the game at 3-3 in the fifth inning.

Yannetti went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBIs, while Alyson Reynolds also devlivered a 2-for-5 performance at the dish with an RBI and a run scored.

Megan Warren and Billie Callahan each had two hits for the Pioneers, who fell to 11-7.
