Aggies face off with L
By Micala Proesch
THE BATTALION
The Texas A&M softball team has proven it
has what it takes to compete with the best teams
in the Big 12, but the Aggies need to play to
perfection as they faces the red-hot Texas
Longhorns on Wednesday at McCombs field in
Austin at 6:30 p.m.
The No. 24 Aggies (34-13, 7-8 Big 12)
proved themselves worthy of their ranking as
they split a doubleheader with No. 4 Nebraska
last weekend. 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.
