DENTON, Texas - Midwestern State's Courtney Bingham continued her torrid pace by going 3-for-4 at the plate to lead the Mustangs to a 5-2 win over St. Edward's (Texas) at the Best Western Premier Spring Fling Saturday at North Lakes Park.
 
Freshman southpaw Lindsi Glenn came on in relief to allow three hits over seven innings to improve to 9-5 on the season.
 
The Mustangs struggled in the field with a pair of errors allowing the first five Hilltoppers to reach base in the first inning as starter Brenna Hennan failed to retire any of the four hitters she faced.
 
MSU escaped allowing just two runs after Glenn came on to retire three straight after the first hitter she faced reached on an error. She would send down 15 straight hitters between the second and seventh innings.
 
The Mustangs pulled within a run on Bingham's RBI single up the middle in the fourth inning then surged to a 3-2 lead after Nicki Duff and Courtney Ford served up run-scoring singles in the fifth.
 
Senior third baseman Mallory Mooney tacked on an RBI double in the sixth and sophomore catcher Kim Jerrick added a sacrifice fly to push the Mustangs' advantage to 5-2.
 
The Mustangs closes out tournament play Sunday afternoon against Pittsburg State (Kan.). First pitch is set for 1:30 p.m.
