Big inning halts Midwestern winning streak at 10

LAWTON, Okla. -- No. 17-ranked Midwestern State crushed three home runs but it wasn't to overcome Cameron's big fourth inning as the Aggies came away with a 6-5 win in Game 1 here Wednesday to snap the Mustangs' 10-game winning streak.
 
MSU junior catcher Kim Jerrick led off with her 19th homer of the season while senior outfielder Courtney Bingham drilled her fourth long ball of the season to culminate a three-run fourth to stake the Mustangs to a 4-0 lead.
 
Midwestern freshman Kat Batey held the Aggies to three hits over the first three innings and appeared to have worked her way out of a one-out single to Stephanie Anderson in the fourth when Micah Foutch lined out for the second out of the inning. But Jill Ledford drew a five-pitch walk allowing Cameron to turn over the order.
 
And the Aggies cashed in.
 
Leadoff hitter Spencer Ferrell sent a two-run single through the left-side of the infield and Carley Allerheiligen reached on an infield single to plate another run to pull Cameron to within 4-3 before Tara Martini launched a three-run home run to right field to give Cameron its first lead of the game at 6-4.
 
Senior first baseman Christina Roosmalen answered with her seventh homer of the year in the fifth to pull MSU back to within a run at 6-5, but that's as close as it would get.
 
Cameron's Samantha Betts didn't allow a hit the rest of the way to improve to 10-14 while allowing five earned runs on six hits with six walks and two strikeouts.
 
The Mustangs did have the tying run thrown out at the plate in the top of the seventh. Freshman outfielder Katelyn Vinson and Shelby Carter reached on consecutive two-out errors as Vinson was tagged out at the plate trying to score on an outfield miscue all the way from first base.
 
Haley Howerton joined Roosmalen with two hits each to pace MSU's six-hit attack.
 
Batey suffered her first loss in her last six decisions to fall to 16-6. The Plano product allowed six runs - all earned - on seven hits in four innings.
 
Midwestern State slipped to 38-13 on the season and to 15-8 in LSC play while Cameron improved to 14-29 and 7-16.
