ments in her right shoulder when
she collided with a catcher at home
plate during a tournament two weeks
ago.
Texas A&M ’s pitching staff racked
up 20 shutouts during the spring, a
school record, behind the talented
arms of freshman Lori Stoll and Shan
McDonald.
Stoll ended the regular season
with an 18-2 record, 145 innings
pitched, 15 runs allowed (eight
earned), 58 hits allowed, 124 strike
outs, 22 walks and an earned run
average of 0.35.
McDonald was 16-5, with 144 in
nings, 28 runs given up (12 earned),
73 hits allowed, 96 strikeouts, 13
walks and an ERA of 0.50.
So, the pitching is no problem.
The hitting, however, is a different
matter. The Aggies as a team batted a
mere .210.
“It’ll definitely come down to
pitching,” Galloway said. “Definite
ly, one run is probably going to be
the deciding factor. It’ll all depend
on the pitchers.”
Galloway said Oklahoma State
University may be the “sleeper” in
the tourney.
“OSU is the team to watch. They
played a good schedule this year, and
they have a great pitcher. When
she’s armed, she’s hard to beat. They
might just sneak in there,” he said.
Competing for the Division 1
championship in the tournament will
be TWU, Sam Houston State,
Stephen F. Austin, The University
of Texas-Arlington, OSU, the Uni
versity of Oklahoma, McNeese
State, West Texas State, Northeast
Louisiana, and Texas A&M.
The Division 2 tourney will pit
top-seeded Central State of Oklaho
ma, second-seeded Texas Wesleyan,
Northwestern Louisiana, and North
eastern Oklahoma.
The finals of the double
elimination tournament will be play
ed at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Friday.
Other first-round action today in
cludes: Sam Houston vs. Stephen F.
Austin, 2 p.m.; McNeese State vs.
LSU, 3:30 p.m.; and West Texas
State vs. Northeast Louisiana, 3:30
