La. last weekend. AAM went 6-0 in the Louisiana tourney, as it outscored its oppo nents 27-1. However, as a team the Aggies batted only .214. Shortstop Liz Mi- offense in Waco tourney zera was the only AAM starter to bat over .300 as she hit .352. “I expected to score more runs than we did," AAM Coach Bob Brock said. “We certainly didn’t hit the ball as well as we need to. The weather (it was 30 degrees with 20 mph winds) had at least a little to do with our lack of hitting. 1 don't think last weekend was any indication of the kind of hitting team we are.” While they didn’t find out whai kind of artillery they possess, the Ags did show a solid defense. The Aggie pitching was impene trable in 4 1 innings of work. Junior Shawn Andaya (3-0) struck out 35, allowed only three hits and didn't allow an earned run in 21 in nings. She tossed a no-hitter in the Ag gies’ 6-0 win over Louisiana T ech in the championship game. I he other half of the rotation, freshman Julie Carpenter, struck out 28, gave up only five hits and didn’t allow a run in 20 innings. “Julie showed what she’s capable of doing,” Brock said “I think she was still a little nervous, but she is strong. “Shawn was Shawn. She did a grr*al job. We are fixing to have a great one-two punch with Julie and Shawn.” The Ags will try to get the knock out punch Saturday and Sunday in Waco. After Saturday’s against the Bobcats.
