SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Iowa State (7-12, 0-0 Big 12) dropped the first game of a doubleheader with Missouri State (9-5, 0-0 MVC), 4-0, before driving in five two-out runs in a 6-4 win in game two.
Amber Ewert (two), Lexi Slater, Erica Miller, Amandine Habben and Jennifer Drahozal each drove in runs in the Cyclones' win as the team tallied 11 hits.
It was all pitching in game one as Missouri State's Natalie Rose (5-0) gave up just four hits, two in the seventh inning, no runs, no walks and collected 11 strikeouts. Iowa State's Torrescano (5-7) was tagged for three earned runs in 5.1 innings on six hits, walking three and fanning four.
After allowing just one hit through three innings, Stevie Pierce smashed a home run off Torrescano to start the Missouri State fourth to give the home team a 1-0 lead. The Bears plated three more on an RBI bloop single in the bottom of the sixth by Heather Duckworth and a double by Stacia Boeckstiegel that scored the final run of the contest.
Trailing 3-0 in the top of the fourth of game two, the Cyclones cracked Bears' starter Chelsea Jones (3-4), connecting for three runs on three hits including Ewert's two-out two-run RBI single to tie the game, 3-3.
The Cyclones tacked on another run in the fifth on a two-out RBI double by Habben and added two on back-to-back RBI doubles by Slater and Miller in the sixth to give Iowa State the 6-3 lead.
A double by Pierce got a run back for Missouri State in the bottom of the sixth but that was all they'd get as Torrescano, who entered with one out in the sixth for Miranda Kemp (1-2), would coax two ground outs and the Bears would strand a runner in the bottom of the seventh to end the game. Kemp pitched one of her best games to date, allowing three hits and four runs on Saturday while walking two and striking out one for her first win at Iowa State.
On Sunday, the Cyclones and Bears are back on the field for a noon CST first pitch in the weekend's rubber game.
