GAME 1: #2 ANGELO STATE 3, MIDWESTERN STATE 1

Lauren Smith's 3-run home run to left field provided the lone offense as No. 2-ranked Angelo State escaped with a 3-1 win over Midwestern State in the opener.
 
The blast spoiled Brenna Hennan's best start of the season as the freshman from Burkburnett weaved a two-hitter, but a lack of command proved to be her undoing as she fell to 1-6 in the circle.
 
Hennan issued five free passes including two walks in the fifth before Smith's homer provided the difference for the Rambelles who improved to 23-3 overall and to 7-0 in Lone Star Conference play.
 
The Mustangs jumped to a 1-0 lead on the strength of junior outfielder Courtney Bingham's solo shot over the right-center field fence in the third inning. It was her first homer of the campaign.
 
She was one of seven different Mustangs to record hits off of Angelo State starter Mary Kate McKay, who improved to 11-1 on the season. McKay allowed one run on seven hits with three strikeouts and three walks.

GAME 2: #2 ANGELO STATE 5, MIDWESTERN STATE 0

Senior pitcher Claire Molina weaved a two-hit shutout as Angelo State extended its winning streak to 13 games with a 5-0 win in the night cap.
 
The southpaw from San Bernardino, Calif. fanned seven and walked three while improving to 13-2 on the season.
 
Angelo State struck for a pair of runs in the third inning powered by Carly Peters' leadoff homer to center field. Chelsea Walters followed with a double to the left field gap before scoring on Amanda Wilhelm's single to left field.
 
The Rambelles tacked on three runs to put away the game in the fifth.
 
Junior second baseman Carey Campbell accounted for MSU's lone safeties with singles in the third and fifth innings.
 
Freshman Lindsi Glenn took the loss for the Mustangs to fall to 11-8 on the season. The lefty from Healdton, Okla. permitted five runs - four earned - on seven hits in six innings with two strikeouts and two walks.
