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

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?

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. Newport returned for the
Colorado match last Sunday, but From was
unable to play.
“I don’t know if we have really been at 100
percent all season so far,” Cass said.

The Aggies will close their road trip wm
visit to the campus of the University t
Nebraska on Monday before returning h onie ‘ l
host Oklahoma State and Baylor later in
week.
