DENTON, Texas - Christina Roosmalen's double to the right-field gap drove in the winning run as Midwestern State turn the tables on Texas Woman's University with a come-from-behind victory of its own taking a 5-4 decision in eight innings in the nightcap at Pioneer Field on Saturday.

Texas Woman's jumped out to an early 4-0 lead highlighted by a two-run single by Kendra Sancet in the first while Lizzy Kelly and Bailey Vrazel drove in runs in the second to chase MSU starter Brenna Hennan, who allowed four runs on four hits in two innings of work.
 
Fellow freshman Lindsi Glenn settled in for her second longest shutout stretch of the season. The left-hander blanked the Pioneer for six frames and permitted just four hits with a season-high five strikeouts to improve to 13-10.
 
Glenn's showing in the circle allowed the Mustangs to rally for two runs in the fourth as Roosmalen and freshman Lisa Licata tallied RBIs to cut the deficit in half at 4-2.
 
The Mustangs loaded the bases without benefit of a hit in the seventh as TWU starter Larisa Garcia hit Carey Campbell with a pitched, walked Kim Jerrick and issued an intentional free pass to Courtney Bingham.
