EAST LANSING, Mich.- Western Michigan jumped out to a 2-0 lead but couldn't hold off the Spartans, falling to Michigan State, 12-2, Tuesday.
Junior left fielder Ivy Schaaf and junior third baseman Kelsea Cichocki both reached with a single in the top of the first. Junior right fielder Erin Binkowski loaded the bases on a walk and junior Abby Stoner scored two with a single up the middle.
Unfortunately for Western Michigan the three singles in the first inning would be the Broncos' only hits of the game.
