Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 STEPHENVILLE – Led by a pair of complete-game victories from Randi Fentress and Brenna Hennan, Tarleton State finished off the four-game sweep of Eastern New Mexico with a 7-3 win in game one and a 2-1 win in the series finale.
 
This four-game winning streak marks the longest of the season for Tarleton and the first sweep for the TexAnns this season, as well as puts the TexAnns in sole possession of fourth place in the Lone Star Conference standings.
   
For the first time in this series, Tarleton played from behind after a three-run first inning but Randi Fentress settled down and blanked the Zias over the final six frames en route to a 7-3 TexAnn win.
 
Eastern New Mexico struck for their biggest inning of the weekend to open things up Saturday, scoring a pair on a 2-RBI double to left and adding a third on an RBI squeeze bunt to take a 3-0 lead over Tarleton before Fentress stopped the bleeding with a looking strikeout.
 
Despite loading the bases in the first, Tarleton didn't get on the board until the second when Amber Clifford plated Erika Menchaca and Randi Fentress on a 2-out, 2-RBI single up the middle.
 
Tarleton took the lead for good in the bottom of the third when Fentress helped her own cause with an RBI single before Tarleton plated two runs on an ENMU error and an interference call that allowed runners from second and third to advance a base.
 
While Fentress continued to mow down the Zia lineup, Tarleton scored on a passed ball in the fourth and another RBI single from Clifford in the fifth to bring the game to its final 7-3 score.
 
Clifford and Katelyn Conlee each had multi-hit afternoons in the finale opener while Melody Mayse, Mikayla Stogsdill, Taylor Wells, Menchaca and Fentress had the rest of Tarleton's nine hits. Clifford led the team with three RBIs while Fentress drove in one as well.
 
Fentress got the win, which evened her record from the circle at 8-8, with her 15^th complete game of the season allowing three runs – two earned – on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts. Her seven innings Saturday put Fentress over 500 career innings pitched with 501.1 career innings. She also topped the 400-strikeout mark in her career as her six Saturday give her 401 in her career.
   
After throwing a five-inning, complete-game shutout against the Zias in game two Friday, Brenna Hennan followed up with a seven-inning, complete-game win allowing just one run as the TexAnns polished off the Zias 2-1.
 
The TexAnns got on the board first when Conlee scored on a passed ball in the bottom of the second.
 
Meanwhile, Hennan cruised through the first three innings before hitting a speed bump in the bottom of the fourth. ENMU got its run on an RBI double down the left field line before a lineout to third ended the threat.
 
The game stayed at an even 1-1 until the bottom of the fifth when Taylor Wells laced an RBI double down the left field line to bring home Melody Mayse from second for the go-ahead run. Hennan shut down ENMU over the final two innings en route to the win.
 
Hennan evened her record as well with seven innings allowing one run on seven hits, two walks and two strikeouts.
 
The Tarleton offense managed five hits in the finale with Wells collecting two of them. Mayse, Conlee and Kendra Mendoza had the rest of Tarleton's offense.
 
For the series, Conlee led the TexAnns with a .667 average and four RBIs while Wells (.583), Fentress (.500), Stogsdill (.444) and Mendoza (.417) each hit over .400 for the weekend. As a team, Tarleton hit .387 while holding ENMU to a .215 batting average for the weekend.
 
Tarleton will be on the road next weekend when they head to Canyon for the second time this season, this time for a four-game set against No. 1 West Texas A&M beginning Friday at 5 p.m.
