Tied 3-all in the bottom of the seventh inning, MTSU (21-22 overall, 9-9 CUSA) claimed the win with a walk-off home run.

WKU’s Annie White singled to third base to set the stage for Stinson. With the first pitch of her at-bat, Stinson sent the ball over the left-field wall for a two-run homer to put the Hilltoppers up, 2-0 in the second inning.

In the bottom of the third, MTSU scored three runs after a home run and two back-to-back hits.

Down 3-2 in the top of the fifth, Gregor swung on the first pitch of her at-bat and snuck the ball just over the right-field wall. Gregor’s home run was both her first of the season and first as a Hilltopper.

Both sides were scoreless across the sixth, with MTSU’s Jana Want hitting the walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh for the win.

WKU pitchers Rylan Smith and Erica Houge combined for five strikeouts on the day.
