Hill (3-1) walked three and struck out nine in his first career start against the A's. In pitching the Rangers first complete game this season, the right-hander, signed as a free agent in the offseason, helped Texas improve to 8-1 at home, their best start in franchise history. Dean Palmer hit a two-run homer, and Ivan Rodriguez had three hits and three RBIs for the Rangers.

In the second game of the dou bleheader, played in front of a crowd of 333, the Lady Red Raiders gave A&M a run for its money before bowing out, 4-3. Red Raiders pitcher Jenny Can non continued one of the worst sea sons in collegiate softball history. She gave up just seven hits and al lowed four unearned runs to the Lady Aggies, who benefited from three Texas Tech errors to pull out the victory. In the bottom of the first, the bad luck began for Can non, as A&M shortstop Gina Perez reached on a throwing error by Texas Tech shortstop Jessica Wimpy. Two outs later, a single by Kendall Richards plated Perez and gave A&M the early lead. The score remained the same until the top of the seventh, when the Lady Red Raiders surprisingly scored three runs off of Lori Gioco. After Gioco could only get one out in the top of the inning, senior pitcher Erin Field came in to pitch and got the final two outs of the in ning, but Tech took a 3-1 lead to the bottom of the seventh. But the Lady Aggies were far from finished. Two outs surrounded a single by second baseman Jessi Cady, bringing the Lady Aggies to within one out of a shocking loss at home to the worst team in the Big 12. But a combination of clutch hit ting by the Lady Aggies and shod dy fielding by the Lady Red Raiders turned the game around. After Perez flied out to center field for the second out of the in ning, leftfielder Heather Hayden reached on an error by second baseman Christine Evans, mov ing Cady to third base. Mya Truelove followed with a walk to load the bases. Richards, already 2-for-3 on the day, singled, driving in two runs, and advanced to sec ond on the throw home. With runners on second and third, Field saved the game again, driving a sin gle up the middle, scoring Truelove with the winning run. In the first game, the 18th-ranked Lady Aggies sent top gun and senior pitcher Field to the hill and watched her work her mag ic. Field went five innings, giving up just six hits and no runs or walks while moving to 16-8 on the year. Trina Solesbee came in and pitched the final two innings, giving up just two hits while strik ing out three.

Dave House, The Batialion Texas A&M's jessi Cady blasts Texas Tech's second baseman, knocking the ball free and ensuring herself of safety at second during Wednesday's doubleheader. was the hardback loser for Tech, getting absolutely no run support while going the distance, giving up four runs on 10 hits. The first game was a scoreless deadlock until the bottom of the fourth inning. With one out, Richards singled to right and Field blasted her sixth homer of the year to center, giving the Lady Aggies a 2-0 lead. The next batter, rightfielder Machelle Weldon followed suit, blasting a home run to left field to give A&M a 3-0 bulge. The score remained the same until Machelle Weldon scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the sixth inning, propelling the Lady Aggies to their 29th win of the sea son against 12 losses. A&M also moved within a game of .500 at 5-6 in Big 12 play. Leading the attack for the Lady Aggies at the plate was Field, with two runs batted in and a run scored.
