A&M has lost many close games to ranked opponents this season, so the win against Nebraska was a boost to the team’s morale. “Our kids went out there and played really well,” said A&M head coach Jo Evans. “We came out there aggressive at the plate, and we hit the ball very hard. They didn’t make any errors. We just outhit them, and Lindsay Wilhelmson pitched a great game.” The Aggies jumped out to an early lead in the top of the first inning when senior first baseman Kelly Ferguson hit a sacrifice fly to score freshman left fielder Adrian Gregory from third base. Junior catcher Selena Collins added some extra cushion to the A&M lead by pounding her 12th home run of the season, putting the Aggies up 2-0. Wilhelmson (10-4) threw her sixth shutout of the season, walking three and striking out two. The Cornhuskers bounced back to take the second game from the Aggies. 6-0, scoring all six of their runs in the third inning. Nicole Trimboli led the offensive onslaught against the Aggies, going 3 for 4 with a pair of doubles in the game. A&M starter sophomore Jessica Slataper (16-8) took the loss after lasting only 2 1/3 innings, her shortest outing of the season. Junior Peaches James (18-5) claimed the win for the Cornhuskers, tossing a three-hit com plete game shutout and notching two RBIs for Nebraska. No. 16 Texas (41-10, 10-1 Big 12) swept Iowa State in a doubleheader this weekend to extend its winning streak to eight games as the JOHN 11\ \s • Texas pitcher Cat Osterman will face the Agp Wednesday at McCombs Field in Austin. Longhorns continue to roll though theirb start in the program's history. Texas is led by freshman pitching semaa Cat Osterman. who was named Big 12Piift| of the Week for the sixth time this season. Osterman is only 34 strikeouts short of: freshman record of 469 on the season Northwestern’s Lisa Ishikawa in 1984. i:j Texas in wins (27), complete games Cl shutouts (13). innings pitched (235) andstrilij the rij outs (435) Osterman shut out the Aggies earlier: season when they met at the Aggie Complex, 2-0. but A&M feels more prepareJ face her this time around. “We have seen Osterman now, so we more comfortable with wlfat she throws, Ev said. “We will be more prepared and know» to expect from them.” Hitters Continued from page 7 can be seen by just looking at the cleanup hitters for both. Sinisi, who came into the game hitting over .400, did not disappoint, going 2-for-4 with the home run and two RBIs. Stephenson continued the downward spiral he has been in of late. He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and four.runners left on base. In his last seven games, Stephenson is just 4-for- 27 (.148), with eight strikeouts. “We just can't get a consis tent guy to hit .360 or .370,” Johnson said. We just have anybody doing that. You like to make your lineuparous your 3-4-5 hitters, but ttiaj; been hard with this group, haven't had a big-time guy a Sinisi, someone you can circs around and go. That s just we are right now.
