The Aggie offensive attack was
led by freshman pitcher Amy
Vining who hit a two-run home
run in the third, and threw a
complete game, striking out
eight to pick up her sixth win of
the season.
On Saturday, A&M kept the of
fensive attack going when they de
feated Illinois State 11-6. Fresh
man third baseman Amanda
Whalen headed the attack going
two for three, driving in three runs
and scoring one. Senior Trina
Solesbee, sophomore Jamie Smith
and freshman Tiffany Esters each
drove in a run with the other runs
scoring off of Illinois errors.
Freshman Amy Lawler stole
three bases and scored three runs
in the game, and freshman pitch
er Ashley Lewis threw six innings
to improve her record to 7-2 with
Gandara throwing the seventh to
close out the game.
In their fourth game, A&M de
feated Bowling Green 3-2 in a
pitcher’s duel. The Aggies started
the scoring in the bottom of the

singled in left fielder Amy Lawler
after she stole twb bases.

run in the top of the fourth to
give them a 2-1 lead.
