Game two started similar for ASU in the top of the first. Moore hit her 12^th home run of the season to give the Rambelles an early 2-0 advantage. Spearman, who led the inning off with a single, would score on the play to break the LSC single season record for runs scored. The senior now has 71 on the season.

Kenedy Urbany came out in game two and pitched well early on. She held the Lady Buffs potent offense to no hits or runs over the first two innings.

ASU took advantage and built a 5-0 lead after a two RBI double by Spearman made it 4-0. Granado doubled in the third to score Urbany to increase the lead to 5-0.

WT battled back in the third with four runs to bring the score to 5-4. Maddy McGarity scored from first in the top of the fourth after an error by West Texas A&M's pitcher to extend the lead to 6-4.

The Rambelles would score five runs in the top of the fifth including a three-run home run by Carly Peters to make it 11-4. It is Peters' seventh home run of the season. WT committed three errors in the inning but would respond in the fifth with five runs to cut the deficit to 11-9.

Urbany hit her ninth home run of the year, a solo homer, to make it 12-9 going into the bottom of the sixth.  The Lady Buffs would score six runs off Urbany and McKay, including a grand slam to take the lead at 15-12.

ASU had a chance with the bases loaded in the top of the seventh inning but were unable to score any runs.

Urbany was credited with just her third loss of the season.  

With the two wins, West Texas A&M secured a share of the Lone Star Conference Championship. The Rambelles will need to win both games tomorrow to clinch a share of the program's seventh LSC title.
