Texas A&M Softball Team Shines in 12-0 Weekend Sweep Against Loyola Marymount
College Station, Texas – The fifth-ranked Texas A&M softball team put on a dazzling display over the weekend, finishing off their series against Loyola Marymount University (LMU) with an impressive 12-0 victory at Davis Diamond. With this win, the Aggies improved their overall record to 31-5, showcasing their dominance on the field.
A Powerful Begining
The excitement began early, as the Aggies scored in the first inning during all three games of this series. Mac Barbara ignited the scoreboard with a clutch RBI single to bring home Amari Harper, who had reached base on a fielder’s choice. The momentum didn’t stop there, as Allie Enright extended the lead to 2-0 with a bases-loaded walk. Gracyn Coleman then added another run after capitalizing on a fielding error by LMU’s third baseman, putting Texas A&M ahead 3-0 by the end of the first inning.
Power Hitting Continues
In the second inning, the Aggies’s bats stayed hot. Amari Harper and Mya Perez launched home runs, pushing the score to 5-0 before the inning was over. This strong offensive showing was just a taste of what was to come.
Run-Rule Territory
Things only got better for the Aggies in the third inning, as they piled on three more runs to take an 8-0 lead and enter run-rule territory. KK Dement led off with a single, setting the stage for an RBI-double from Coleman. Harper continued her stellar game with a single that brought home yet another run, and Wooley added to the joy with an RBI-walk after the bases were loaded.
A Fourth-Inning Explosion
As if the Aggies weren’t already in a commanding position, they exploded for four more runs in the fourth inning off five hits, including three extra-base hits. Dement dazzled again, starting the inning with a double, later scoring on Frankie Vrazel’s RBI-single. Harper delivered her third hit of the game with an RBI-double, proving it was her day.
