Lions start five-game South Texas swing with 6-2 win at Texas A&M-Kingsville

KINGSVILLE – The Texas A&M University-Commerce softball team started a five-game South Texas swing with a 6-2 win over Texas A&M University-Kingsville in Lone Star Conference action on Friday evening.
 
The Lions move to 22-9 overall and 9-4 in the Lone Star Conference, while the Javelinas fall to 14-16 overall and 6-9 in the LSC. The two teams meet again on Saturday for a 1 p.m. doubleheader.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
- The Lions out-hit the Javelinas 9-5, and benefited from a pair of solo homers. Kinsie Hebler hit her seventh homerun of the year, and Mariah Jameyson blasted her ninth.
- Hebler also picked up the win in the circle in relief, moving to 6-1 on the season with 3.1 scoreless and hitless innings. She struck out two and walked four. Starter Katie Dean allowed two runs on five hits in 3.2 innings.
- Chealsea Slider was the only Lion with multiple hits, going 2-for-3 with a two-run single in the fourth.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Lions took the early lead in the top of the first, when Hebler hit a two-out solo homer to left field to give A&M-Commerce a 1-0 lead.
 
A&M-Kingsville loaded the bases in the bottom of the first, but the Lions turned a double play to end the early threat. The Lions also turned a double play to end the bottom of the second inning.
 
Ciera Nunez led off the fourth with a single and stole second. Jameyson walked and December Rivers was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Slider's single to left field brought home two runs and advanced the lead to 3-0.
 
The Javelinas scored a pair of runs with two outs in the fourth to cut the Lion lead to 3-2. The guests would break the game open in the sixth.
 
Jameyson hit her fourth homerun of the week with one out to add an insurance run. That cushion increased twice more when two runs came home on a Tyler Oppenheim single with an error on the play.
 
The Lions took that 6-2 lead to the bottom of the sixth. Hebler hit a batter with two out in the sixth, and walked a batter with two out in the seventh, but both batters were stranded to hand the Lions their seventh straight LSC win.
