ALTUS, Okla – Massive offensive numbers were the theme of the day for the Murray State Lady Aggies as they blasted Western State College, 21-2 and 21-6, in a conference twinbill on the road Saturday afternoon.

Coach Aaron Mullens' club smacked seven home runs in the opener and another nine in game two. Sophomore Shaylin Midgley led that charge with five roundtrippers on the day with Haili Igou and Kennedy Lord belting three apiece.

The fifth-ranked Lady Aggies upped their overall record to 32-4 as well as remaining unbeaten in league play at 10-0. They are slated to return home for a non-league doubleheader against Eastern Oklahoma State College on Tuesday at 4 p.m.

Lord's solo homer provided the only scoring in the third with the Lady Aggies having a long ball parade an inning later when Igou and Midgley had solo blasts to go along with Mattie Richardson's two-run shot to help make it 15-2.

Murray State was far from finished as the visitors notched another six runs in the fifth to finish it off. Midgley and Morgan Skold each contributed two-run bombs with Bella Butler adding a solo blast.
