SAN MARCOS, Texas – Three home runs to score the first three Bobcat runs of the game propelled Texas State to an 11-2 victory against the visiting Western Kentucky Lady Toppers on Saturday afternoon.

Kelli Baker and Timishia North got the Bobcats off on the right foot to start the contest, hitting back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the first inning to give Texas State an early 2-0 lead. Three straight strike outs by the Western Kentucky's Emily Rousseau got the Lady Toppers out of the inning.
 
Just one inning later, sophomore Kendall Wiley continued the home run ways, leading the inning off with a solo shot to left centerfield. Texas State added one more in that half of the inning as Western Kentucky walked three Bobcats while giving up a bunt single by Baker.
 
Western Kentucky got two runs back in the top of the third, capitalizing on a pair of doubles and a triple by the bottom half of the Lady Topper line-up.
 
The Bobcats tallied another run in the bottom of the third before extending their lead to seven after scoring four in the bottom of the fourth. In the fourth, Texas State recorded three singles after North and Harris led the inning off with a walk and a hit by pitch.
