SAN MARCOS, Texas - The Lamar Lady Cardinals saw their five-game winning streak come to an end with an 8-0 loss to host Texas State in a non-conference softball game Wednesday.

Lamar's Stephanie Meeuwsen extended her school-record hitting streak to 14 games, one of just two hits the Lady Cardinals (10-10) managed against Texas State starter Randi Rupp. Sable Hankins had Lamar's other hit.

Lamar starter Lauren Dannelley (4-5) took the loss, allowing five hits and four runs, two earned, over four innings. Texas State (15-10), which extended its winning streak to six games, scored four runs in the fourth inning off of Lamar reliever Amie Cisneros to close out the game via the run rule.

"Two hits is just unacceptable. We didn't make adjustments," Lamar coach Holly Bruder said. "Our bullpen let us down as well."

Lamar center fielder Jenna Holland had two defensive gems on the evening. Holland reached over the wall to rob Kendall Wiley of a home run in the fourth inning and then threw out Wiley trying to advance from first to third on a single in the fifth inning.

Kelli Baker and Ariel Ortiz each had two hits and two RBIs for Texas State.

The Lady Cardinals return to action when they host Abilene Christian in a three-game Southland Conference series this weekend at the Lamar Softball Complex. Please note that the game times have changed. The teams will play a doubleheader at 2 p.m. Saturday and a single game at noon Sunday. The teams will not play on Friday.
