The Midwestern State Mustangs made it look easy against the Newman Jets in the team's third game of the MSU Round Robin on Feb. 11 at noon. Pitcher Peyton Helton held off the Newman Jets' offense while the Midwestern State Mustangs' offense scored eight runs in a five inning mercy rule victory. This moved the Mustangs' record to 5-6 on the season, and it moved Newman's record to 2-7 on the season.

Helton finished with no scores against her, and since the defense also played well, this made it her best game of 2017. This was Helton's second victory of the season, putting her pitching record at 2-2 on the year.

The offense was also a huge factor in the win, as they were able to score eight unanswered runs batted in on just eleven hits. This was the team's second shutout victory, and its second mercy rule victory.

The MVPs of the game were Helton as pitcher, Taylor Mordecai (three hits, three at bats, four RBIs, and one run) on offense, and Lauren Lindgren (two hits, three at bats, and three RBIs) on offense. This was the Mustang's third game in the MSU Round Robin, and so far they are 3-1 in the event.

MSU also won the fourth game against Southwest Baptist by a score of 10-3. Kelsey Knox was the MVP of that game, as she scored one run and three RBIs on four hits. The team's two Sunday games were cancelled for an unknown reason, so the next game on their schedule will be on Feb. 17 at 4 P.M. at Mustang Park.
