The #23 ranked WTAMU Lady Buffs finished up the road portion of their conference schedule on April 22-23 as they took on Tarleton State looking to keep up their strong play as the season winds down.

Game one was a scrappy affair with the Lady Buffs falling behind 1-0 after one inning.  RBI’s by juniors Meghan Brown and Whitney Midkiff gave WT the lead at 2-1 in the top of the fourth inning before TSU tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom half of the inning.  Brown struck again the very next inning with an RBI single followed by a sacrifice fly by fellow junior Kristina Myles to make it 4-2.  TSU pulled one run back in the bottom of the seventh but it wasn’t enough as the Lady Buffs held on for the 4-3 victory.

Junior Marci Womack picked up the victory on the mound (18-6) giving up three runs on six hits with six strikeouts in the complete game victory. 
WT claimed the series in game number two thanks to the Lady Buffs scored nine runs over the last three innings to claim an 11-6 victory.  Freshman Alyssa Lemos paced the offense with four RBI followed by senior Kaitlyn Witte with two RBI. 
Junior Shelbey Cockrell got the victory pitching for the Lady Buffs (18-6) giving up six runs on eight hits with 15 strikeouts in the complete game victory. 
TSU struck back in the series finale as they used a walk-off two run homer to claim a 6-4 victory over the Lady Buffs.  Witte once again was a spark for the Lady Buffs with two RBI on the day. 
Shelbey Cockrell was tagged with the loss (18-7) as she gave up two runs on two hits with four strikeouts in her 2.0 innings of relief.
