Huggins Lights Up Schaeffer Park in 10-2 Win over Western New Mexico

CANYON, Texas – Amelya Huggins homered and drove in four runs in her first Lone Star Conference game as West Texas A&M defeated Western New Mexico 10-2 in six innings on a cold, windy night at Schaeffer Park. The Lady Buffs finish their three-game series against the Mustangs with a doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 16. First pitch originally scheduled for 1 p.m. has been moved up to Noon. 

THE BASICS
Score:West Texas A&M 10, Western New Mexico 2 (6 innings)
Records:West Texas A&M (6-4, 1-0 LSC), Western New Mexico (1-10, 0-1 LSC)
Location:Canyon, Texas

The Lady Buffs jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the first thanks in large part to a three-run home run from Kylee Moore. After back-to-back walks to Shayne Starkey and Kourtney Coveney, Huggins singled to right center to score Starkey. Moore was up next and sent a 2-2 pitch opposite field over the wall in left field for her team-high fourth home run of the season.

WT would make it 7-0 in the bottom of the second with their second home run of the game, this time with a three-run home run from Huggins. Starkey and Coveney both walked for the second consecutive inning before Huggins lifted a 0-1 pitch over the fence in left for her third on the season. Erica Vessels would make it 8-0 in the bottom of the third scoring on a wild pitch after leading her the inning off with a triple.

WNMU would get a run back in the top of the fourth inning after opening the inning with three consecutive singles up the middle. Marina Garcia would come around to score on a fielder's choice to second by Carolyn Castillo. The visitors would make it 8-2 in the top of the fifth on Garcia's two-out single with a runner on second. 

Salzman doubled to open the bottom of the sixth before coming around to score on Shanna McBroom's single to left. Kinzie Jones and Alyx Cordell walked in consecutive at-bats to load the bases before India Holland hit a liner off the fence in right field to give the Lady Buffs a walk-off win. 

Kyra Lair (4-0) went the distance as she remained undefeated allowing two runs (two earned) on five hits with three walks and a career-high six strikeouts.
