Woodard, who is currently in her 15^th season as the head coach of the Bobcats, becomes the 106^th Division 1 coach all-time to achieve the milestone. She is the winningest coach all-time at Texas State.


 
Courtney Harris led the Bobcats at the plate with a 2-for-3 showing including a two-run home run in her second at bat of the day. Wiley also posted a pair of hits and three total RBI for Texas State as she has now extended her on base streak to a career-best 27 games.
 
Wiley got the Bobcats on the board in the bottom half of the first as she singled up the middle with Courtney Harris on second and Ariel Ortiz on third. Both runners scored and Wiley would advance to second on the throw. A ground out by Lexi Fryar would get the Panthers out of the inning, but not before Texas State would take an early lead.
 
After a scoreless second, the Bobcats proceeded to tack on two more runs in the bottom of the third after Harris launched her fourth home run of the season, scoring Ortiz who doubled to lead-off the inning.
 
Down four through four innings, the Panthers began to chip away at the Texas State lead in the fifth inning with a two-run home run.
 
Georgia State then tacked on another run in the sixth and the seventh innings to tie-up the contest.
 
Wiley led the seventh inning off with a walk, but three straight outs would force the game to go into extra innings.
 
The Bobcats and the Panthers then exchanged a scoreless eighth before Wiley's biggest hit of the game came in the ninth. Harris led the bottom of the ninth with a hard hit ball to the pitcher, resulting in an infield single for the senior third baseman. Kortney Koroll would then move Harris to third on a sacrifice bunt after a wild pitch sent Harris to second. With the outfield playing in, Wiley smacked her single over the head of the centerfielder to score Harris for the victory.
 
Kaylee Garner earned her second victory of the year after putting in four innings of work in relief for Randi Rupp. Rupp and Garner combined for nine strikeouts.
 
Texas State will continue play at home this week with a doubleheader scheduled against former Southland Conference foe Stephen F. Austin. First pitch Wednesday afternoon is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Bobcat Softball Stadium. Live stats, live video, and live audio will be available at www.txstatebobcats.com.
