on first and third, A&M
pulJed off a double steal to go
up 4-0 and senior right fielder
Trina Solesbee drove in the fifth
and final run when he doubled
in senior Tanya Klecker.
Vining completed the win
with a one-two-three seventh to
pick up her fifth win of the sea
son.
She threw a one-hit complete
game shutout, striking out five
and walking two.
“Whenever you get a lot of
runs early, it always takes the
pressure off,” Vining said.
“When I am given run support
early in the game, it helps me
and the rest of the team relax
and play more confident.”
“I owe a lot
of credit to my
defense,” Vin
ing said. “They
made some
great plays be
hind me in the
field especially
Jamie (Smith).
She made Evans
some tremen
dous plays that probably saved us
some runs.
Coach Jo Evans said she was
very pleased with all aspects of
the team in their win.
“We got two big wins against a
very tough aggressive team
tonight," Evans said. “We hit the
ball well. Our pitching was in
control all game. Our defense
was outstanding tonight. Over
all, we did a nice job tonight.”
“What impressed me the most
was we were able to get the big hits
when we needed them,” Evans
added. “We got some big RBIs
with two outs.
“That’s when you need them
the most especially against a
team like UTA.”
Next, the Aggies will host
their second tournanament of
the year when they participate
in the Aggie Invitational 11 this
weekend.
