YellowJacket softball used a six run fourth inning to blow by Sul Ross State in the series finale in Alpine, Texas on Saturday afternoon. LeTourneau added four more runs in the sixth inning to take a 12-6 victory over the Lobos.
 
LETU (12-19, 7-17 ASC) notched 15 hits in the win, the most of the season for the YellowJackets, and tied a season high in runs scored with 12.
 
Junior Ashlin Roach led the devastating LeTourneau offense as she hit for the cycle and recorded a single, double, triple and a homerun in the game. The Hughes Springs High School product earned four of her six RBIs on a grand slam homerun in the top of the sixth inning. Along with going 4-for-5 at the plate, Roach also had a team-high four assists on the defensive side of the ball.

Seniors Whitney Judd and Courtney Matulis each scored three runs for the YellowJackets. Judd homered in the third inning to put LETU ahead 2-1. It was the first career homerun for the Azle, Texas native and her team-leading 31^st hit of the season. Matulis also has 31 hits on the season as the senior duo energize the LeTourneau lineup.

Ashley Burdine pitched three innings and got her fourth win of the season. The junior right-hander gave up four runs on six hits. Faith Genoway pitched the remaining four innings in relief giving up two runs on six hits. Genoway finished with one strikeout and forced six ground outs. 

Macey Mize was 2-for-4 at the plate and recorded the first RBI of the game with a shot to right field that scored Matulis.
 
After the Lobos scored two runs in the bottom of the third inning to take a 3-2 lead, Freshman Hayley Hurley started a huge fourth inning for the YellowJackets. Hurley knocked an RBI single to left center to score junior Bailey Woodard who had reached on a walk.
 
Kaitlyn Allen loaded the bases with a single through the right side which set up Judd who reached on a fielder's choice and scored freshman Taylor MacKenzie. Matulis followed with a single to bring home her fellow senior, Allen.
 
Roach got her triple in the fourth inning and racked up two of her six RBIs as Judd and Matulis crossed the plate. Roach would score on a passed ball during the following Mize plate appearance.
 
LeTourneau would allow one run in the bottom of the seventh inning but walked away with the series finale win to end their road trip to Alpine.
 
The YellowJackets will return home next weekend for a 3-game conference series with Hardin-Simmons. Saturday's series finale will also be Senior Day as three LETU seniors play in their final game at the Joyce Family Athletic Village. A short ceremony will take place before the game to recognize seniors Whitney Judd, Courtney Matulis and Kaitlyn Allen.
 
First pitch for Friday's doubleheader will be at 5 p.m. and Senior Day is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.
