In Short...
Murray State scored five runs in the bottom of the fourth to break open a close game and earn an 8-1 win over the Ramblers in LU's final game at the KSU Kickoff Classic in Kennesaw, Ga.

How It Happened
+ Loyola got on the board first when Brooke Wyderski slugged her second home run of the season in the first inning
+ However, Murray State got that run back in the bottom of the inning and added two more in the second to take a 3-1 lead
+ Loyola struggled to string hits together and the Racers put the game away in the fourth, with four hits, two errors and a wild pitch combining to push five runs across the plate

Inside The Box Score
+ Loyola managed just two hits in the game, Wyderski's homer and a second-inning single by Hannah Jenkins
+ Despite that, the Ramblers managed baserunners in five of the seven innings but could not mount a rally
+ The Ramblers committed just one error in two games yesterday but were guilty of a pair of throwing errors today - both in the five-run fourth inning - that led to four unearned runs
+ Wyderski finished the weekend 5-of-8 with two homers and 6 RBIs while Erica Nagel hit .571, going 4-for-7 with three runs scored
