Ferguson gave Slataper all
the offense she would need
with a one-out solo home run
to left field, her fifth of the
year, in the second inning.
Serena Settlemier (6-6)
took the loss for Kansas, giv
ing up six hits and three runs
— two earned — while strik
ing out five and walking two.
In the first game of the
evening, the Jayhawks
scored five runs in the final
two innings to claim a wild
6-4 win.
The two-hour, 25-minute
game featured five errors, 18
hits and 10 runs.
With the Aggies clinging
to a 2-1 lead with one out in
the top of the sixth, Kansas’
Leah Tabb doubled down the
left field line to score Christi
Musser and tie the game.
An RBI groundout by
Katie Campbell and a run
scoring single up the middle
by Amy Hulse extended the
KU lead to 4-2.
Tabb’s double snapped a
string of 25 1/3 consecutive
innings of work without giv
ing up an earned run by
A&M starter Lindsay
Wilhelmson.
Kansas added a pair of
insurance runs in the seventh
off relief pitcher Lindsey
Rippee to take a four-run
lead into A&M’s final at-bat.
The Aggies mounted a
furious rally in the seventh,
sending seven batters to the
plate and scoring twice
before Settlemier retired the
final two batters in relief for
her third save of the season.
Offense rules at spring game
QB Farris leads
Maroon to 34-27
victory over White
Staff and Wire Reports
The Maroon team used a balanced offen
sive attack to tally a 34-27 victory over the
White team in the annual Maroon and White
Game on Saturday at Kyle Field.
The Maroon team gained 324 total yards
by rushing for 149 yards on 32 carries and
competing 1 l-of-17 passes for 175 yards.
Leading the attack for the Maroon were
junior running back Oschlor Flemming who
rushed for a game-high 81 yards and scored
two touchdowns on 1 1 carries and senior
quarterback Mark Farris, who completed
11-of-14 passes for 178 yards and two
touchdowns.
Sophomore wide receiver Terrence
Murphy led the Maroons with three catches
for 33 yards and a touchdown, while Jamaar
Taylor chipped in two catches for 60 yards.
Defensively, senior Terrence Kiel pro
duced a game-high 10 tackles, including
two for loss, intercepted a pass and broke
up two others.
The White team gained 145 total yards
with 121 yards through the air and 24 yards
op the ground.
Senior running back Dwain Goynes led
the White team with 25 yards on nine car

passing.
Senior Bethel Johnson produced a game-

the Whites were led by sophomore walk-on
Blake Kendrick who produced seven tackles.
“We competed well and had some enthu
siasm about playing,” said A&M head coach
R.C. Slocum. “We had some good catches
and some good runs, but we did have a few
bumps and bruises. We threw and caught the
ball better than last year. We might be a lit
tle more talented in some areas and we exe
cuted real well.”
STUART VILLANUEVA • THE BATTALION
A&M junior running back Oschlor Flemming eludes the tackle of a defender as the Maroon team
defeated the White team, 34-27, in the Maroon and White Game at Kyle Field.
The White team opened the scoring in the
first quarter when running back Dwain
Goynes scored on a 3-yard run. Linebacker
Randall Webb set up the score with a recov
ered fumble at the Maroon 33-yard line.
The Maroons answered with a 15-yard
pass from Farris to junior walk-on wide
receiver Tim Van Zant.
The Whites regained the lead when soph
omore quarterback Jason Carter connected
with redshirt freshman receiver John
Roberson who made a spectacular 20-yard
leaping grab.
The Maroons took control of the game by
scoring 27 straight points. Flemming scored
a 1-yard run and then Farris connected with
Murphy for a 7-yard touchdown.
Sophomore running back Derek Farmer
tacked on a 3-yard touchdown run.
Flemming closed out the first half scoring
with a 20-yard touchdown run that put the
Maroons up 34-14 at halftime.
