The Cyclones started fast in game two in Lubbock. Sami Williams got the offense rolling with a one-out base hit in the top of the first inning. Junior Mikayla Ramos then stepped to the plate and crushed her 12th home run of the season, tied for the fifth-most in a single season in program history.
A Karli Hamilton RBI single got TTU a run back in the bottom half of the inning, cutting Iowa State's lead to 2-1 after one inning.
Junior infielder Kasey Simpson hit her first homer of the season in the top of the second on a solo shot to left center field. Simpson is now the 11th different Cyclone to homer this season.
Iowa State churned out another run in the top of the third to extend the lead to 4-1. Ochoa tallied a one-out double to center field, followed by a Kali Gose RBI single up the middle, allowing the speedy Ochoa to race home.
Texas Tech answered with a RBI single off the bat of Arriana Villa, plating Hamilton.
Ramos was hit by pitch to lead-off the top of the fifth inning. Ochoa then cleared the bases with a shot into the bullpen at Rocky Johnson Field. It was her fifth homer of the season, and Iowa State's third of the game, extending ISU's lead to 6-2.
A TTU home run by Maddie Westmoreland would be the final of the day, and the lone run surrendered by Cyclone relief pitcher Shannon Mortimer. The junior from South Grafton, Mass., went 4.1 innings in relief, allowing just one run on six hits to improve to 5-0 on the season.
Freshman Saya Swain got the start for the Cyclones, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits in 2.2 innings of work.
