Friday, April 12, 2002 THE BATTAl SPORTS Ags look to get over the hump against Cowgirls By Micala Proesch THE BATTALION The Texas A&M softball team heads to Stillwater, Okla. to take on the Oklahoma State Cowgirls in a two-game series this weekend. The Aggies (32- 10, 5-5 Big 12) are currently rid ing a three-game win streak going into the series. With a sweep of a double- header against Texas Tech on Wednesday, the No. 24 Aggies have evened out their record in the Big 12 Conference, and with this series are looking to improve that record and move up in the standings. “We have dropped some heart breaking games in our conference this season.” said A&M head coach Jo Evans. “It really bothered me that we did n't have a winning conference record, but we are coming back and continue to gain ground in the Big 12.” The Aggies’ victories over Tech were highlighted by two outstanding pitching perform ances by sophomore aces Jessica Slataper and Lindsay Wilhelmson. Slataper tossed a one-hitter in the opening game, while Wilhelmson threw a career-high 15 strikeouts and gave up only two hits in game two. While the pitchers were get ting their jobs done on the mound, the Aggie offense exploded in the series, with the team recording 17 hits and three home runs. Junior catcher Selena Collins hit her 10th home run, bringing A&M’s team total up to 29, which ties the all-time record set in 1985 and 1996. “It really makes a huge dif ference for your team when the pitcher can keep you in the game,” Evans said. “It gives THE BATTA JOHN LIYAS • T HE BAT'i,: A&M senior Lisa Klam slaps a hit against Texas Tech during the Agp doubleheader sweep over Tech on Tuesday at the Aggie Softball Comple your batters a chance to take their time and focus at the plate.” A&M leads the all-time series against the Cowgirls 23- 18. with Oklahoma State taking the last meeting 2-1 in College Station. Oklahoma State (25-14, 4-5) is entering the series coming off a 6-0 victory over Tulsa on Wednesday. It has yet to win a Big 12 contest at home, and last week it suffered two one-run losses to No. 9 Oklahoma and Texas Tech. Cowgirls’ sophomore Jade Lindly leads the Big 12 with .5(H) batting average, and is hitting .257 on the season The pitching staff is leadbyji- ior ace Lauren Bay, who is sec ond to Texas freshman Cal Osterman in strikeouts wilhl this season. “We are going to have on work cut out for us,” Evans said “Oklahoma State is playn? great and hitting the Ml extremely well right now.' The two teams will sqn? off at Cowgirl Stadium® Saturday at 2 p.m. and again? Sunday at 1 p.m. Showdown Continued from page 1B While filling in at court one for Newport, senior Keith From was forced to retire from his match due to injury.
