Mines drilled 16 hits, including four doubles and two home runs, to run-rule New Mexico Highlands 12-1 in five innings to start Monday.

Kayleigh Krueger drove in four runs doubling twice and Taylor Wayne helped herself with three RBI and her first collegiate home run as Mines poured it on in the later innings. Wayne (1-3) earned her first win in the circle with three strikeouts and one run surrendered through five.

Mines went ahead when a dropped fly ball from Wayne with the bases loaded let Hannah Roberts score in the second, and Sara Larson's double plated Roberts again in the third to lead 2-0. Highlands got on theboard with McKayla Encinias' sacrifice fly in the third, but Mines would score 10 unanswered after that starting with a three-run fourth as Wilson drove in Renata Boyd and Krueger sent two runs across on a double to lead 5-1.

The fifth inning broke the game wide open as Wayne homered to right for two runs, Wilson singled in Boyd, Krueger smacked another two-run double, and Roberts capped the rally with her first collegiate homer to make it 12-1.

The game was scoreless into the third until Wilson doubled in Renata Boyd and Emilee Sloan, and Roberts doubled home Wilson later in the inning to make it 3-0.
