Aggies face showdown with
Softball team looking for redemption after Georgia tot
By Katie Mish
Staff writer
The Texas A&M Softball team
will face North Carolina in a dou
bleheader Friday at 5 p.m. at the
Aggie Softball field.
Coach Jo Evans said that the
Aggies will win if they play well.
She said the team is getting ex
tra practice that they haven’t
had because the number of
games they have been playing
has limited their practice time.
She also said the practice
time gives the team a chance to
work on specific objectives.
“We’re getting some batting
practice in and some pitching
and defensive
work,
w $
and
we’re starting
to come to
gether as a
team, even
though we
have some im
provements to
make,” Evans
Evans said - “We’re
working to
wards being able to peak at the
right time. We’re hoping to be
ready for conference, ready in
terms of being consistent with
our pitching and defense.”
Evans said the pitchers are
working on not getting behind
in the count and really prepar
ing themselves for the two
games in these practices. She
said the pitchers are trying to
improve their level of play to
keep it steady.
“Our pitchers need to get out

As A&M students celebrate
their annual respite from classes
with trips to the beach and to the
mountains, the Aggie Baseball
Team will take a road trip of its
own as its members try to con
tinue doing what they've been
doing all season long. Winning.
The Aggies will be coming off
a split with Southwest Texas
State in a doubleheader this
past Tuesday.
After shutting out the Bob
cats 6-0 behind the arm of
Chance Caple, the Aggies
couldn’t get the run they need
ed to keep the game alive in the
ninth and fell, 4-3, despite a
two-run homer from leftfielder
Steven Truitt.
Now A&M returns to Big 12
conference and road games
with a three-game set against
Oklahoma State that will get
underway at 7 p.m. Friday in
Stillwater.
Truitt said
the Cowboys
will give the
Aggies a tough
league chal
lenge.
“They’re a
good team,
one of the pre
season fa
vorites, and
we’re going to do what we can to
win,” Truitt said.
Taking the hill for A&M will
likely be Ryan Rupe in the first

For the Aggies this year, good
things have come with those
three pitchers. Together they
boast a combined record of 1 1 -
2 with 103 strikeouts and an op
ponent batting average of .196.
Coach Mark Johnson said his
hurlers will be an important part
of shutting down the Cowboy’s
potent offense.
“Oklahoma State is one of the
favorites; they’re better this year
than they were last year, but I
think our pitchers will help,”
Johnson said.
Oklahoma State is coming off
