No. 17 Red Raiders take a pair from Ag,
Texas A&M fails to produce timely hits against Red Raiders, ties Baylor in 10-ini
By Robert Hollier
Staff writer
It is not always how many hits a team gets, but
when they get them. The Texas A&M Softball Team
(32-24-2,6-10-1) learned that the hard way as they
dropped a pair to No. 17TexasTech3-l and2-l on
Saturday afternoon at the Aggie Softball Field.
In the second game, the Aggies left the bases
loaded in the bottom of the seventh with nobody
out and stranded nine runners on base for the
game in the 2-1 loss in eight innings.
“Seven hits is enough to win a ball game,”
Coach Jo Evans said. “Our problem is not get
ting the timely hits.”
Tech started the scoring in the top of the sec
ond when they took a 1 -0 lead on a questionable
call at the plate. With two outs and a runner on
first, the Tech first baseman doubled. The relay
throw to home plate appeared to be in time as
the catcher, Marianne McGuire, applied the tag
to her foot, but the umpire called her safe.
“My hand hurt after the tag,” McGuire said of
the questionable play. “1 hit her right in the cleat.
That run made a huge difference in the game.”
Evans agreed, “Mary clearly tagged her in the
foot. I obviously didn’t agree with the call.”
The score would remain 1-0 as freshman
starting pitcher Amy Vining was able to put the
play behind her to throw eight strong innings,
giving up seven hits and two runs while striking
out four and walking two in the loss.
“She (Vining) pitched so well,” Evans said.
“When we get good pitching and solid defense,
we usually win games.”
Trailing 1-0 going into the bottom seventh,
the Aggies were able to tie the score at one on
an RBI single by first baseman Julie McMullen
to score Vining. The Aggies would then load the
bases with nobody out, but Tech pitcher,
Amanda Renfro got the next three A&M batters
on a pop out and two strikeouts.
"I was vety proud of our team battling back,”
Evans said. “We were exactly where we wattled to be
in that situation. We just couldn’t get the clutch hit.”
In the first game, the Aggies lost 3-1 as they
