WICHITA FALLS, Texas –
Brenna Busby broke the Cameron University program record for home runs in a career, as the Aggies took down Nebraska-Kearney on Saturday for their sixth straight victory.
Â
The Aggies came into Saturday afternoon riding a five-game winning streak, including two dominating wins to kick off this weekend's Midwestern State Invitational.Â
Â
Cameron wasted no time getting off to a hot start against the Lopers. Leadoff slugger
Brenna Busby clubbed a home run to start the contest. That home run was her 46th career home run, which gave her the program lead for most home runs in a career. Her day wasn't done there, she slapped another solo shot in the top of the sixth inning to give her 47 career homers and put this contest away.
Â
Kylie French drove in a run on a single in the second and
Janessa Larman added another on a fielder's choice. French added another RBI single in the fifth to give her team a 4-1 advantage.
Â
B. Busby answered the Lopers' second run with her second bomb of the game in the sixth and a
Mikayla Oaks sacrifice flyball later in the frame gave CU their 6-2 advantage. Â
Â
The Aggie bats were anything but silent today, coming around to score six times on seven hits; they stranded nine runners on the base paths.
Â
Along with B. Busby,
Kylie French earned a pair of RBI's in the win, going 2-4 and coming around to score once.
Breley Webb was the third Aggie to turn in a multi-hit game (2-4), but the offense left her stranded each time.Â
Â
In the circle,
Bethany Hines tossed five innings, punching out five hitters while giving up just a pair of runs. Hines is now 5-4 on the year with 50 strikeouts and a 3.78 ERA.
Â
Turner Whorton finished the game off by pitching two scoreless innings. Whorton struck out four of her eight batters faced in this contest.
Â
Fresh off a Friday double-dip where they allowed just four hits combined, Whorton and Hines allowed just six hits and two walks combined against UNK.
Â
Cameron, now 8-5 on the season, will wrap up the MSU Invitational on Sunday with a matchup against the Regis Rangers at 11 a.m. in Wichita Falls. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
