Senior outfielder Brittany Clopton, who scored A&M's first run
Tuesday, swings at the plate.
Aggies ride Fox to shutout of UTSA
By Milkyas Gashaw
Nw The Texas A&M softball team
rode an excellent performance
from Rachel Fox to a 5-2 victory
against UTSA Wednesday night at the
Aggie Softball Complex.
Head Coach Jo Evans said she was
happy with the way her team played
in all facets of the game -— offense, de
fense and pitching.
“We ended up scoring some runs
and that really ended up being the dif
ference in the game,” Evans said. “We
had a couple of flares out there and got
some RBIs early. Also, Rachel was
great out there tonight. She got lots of
strikeouts and kept good command out
there.”
The No. 22 Aggies (30-10, 7-5
SEC) got off to a fast start, with Fox
setting the tone early with a 1-2-3
first inning. Senior Brittany Clopton
led off the Aggie offense with a walk
and made her way around to third base
when Ashley Walters hit into a force-
out of Tori Vidales at second base. Ju
nior Cali Lanphear made the most of
her opportunity with an RBI single
down the right field line to bring in
Clopton.
Lanphear said it was important to
make good contact with the pitches
and hitting in scoring situations.
“I’m hitting on both sides of the
plate and that’s a good sign,” Lanphear
said. “I think our ball club is doing a
good job with two outs and doing a
good job moving the runners around.”
A&M continued its scoring when
Kristen Cuyos placed a blooper over
the outstretched glove of the shortstop
to bring in Walters and Lanphear. Cuy
os displayed some heady basemnning at
second when the shortstop and the left
fielder, from UTSA both went for the
blooper and caused the ball to trickle
away from them.
Sophomore Reagan Boenker hit an
other RBI single to push the lead to
4-0 and chase the UTSA starter after
only getting two outs in the first in
ning. Junior Kacy Freeze took over
the rest of the game in relief and fared
much better, completing the game and
only allowed one run the rest of the
game.
Sophomore Celena Massey capped
off the scoring for the Aggies with an
RBI double down the left field line.
With the exception of a two-run hom
er from Vivian Tijerina in the sixth,
Rachel Fox kept the high-powered
Roadrunner offense at bay, allowing
only two runs and striking out 10. She
spoke about constantly changing up her
pitches against such a potent offense.
“We worked screwballs and drop-
balls and curves right at the knee,” Fox
said. “I wasn’t necessarily trying to
throw harder, but smarter.”
The Aggies are back in action at 6:30
p.m. Wednesday against North Texas
at the Aggie Softball Complex.
Men's and women's tennis
face top-ranked talent
before SEC tournament
By Alex Scott
rs. Both the men’s and wom-
en’s tennis teams are prepar
ing for mid-week road matches
before closing out their regular
seasons this weekend.
The No. 11 women’s team
(12-4, 9-2 SEC) wih head to
Waco, Texas, for a rematch at
5 p.m. Wednesday against the
No. 7 Baylor Bears (19-5, 5-1
Big 12).
The last time the two teams
met, the Aggies defended their
home court against the then-No. ,
6 Bears in College Station. At the
time, the match was an upset, as
A&M was ranked No. 30 when
it hosted the Bears.
Since their first meeting, the
Aggies have won six of seven
matches and worked their way
up the polls. Baylor has done
comparatively well. Since its loss
on March 19 to A&M, it has won
four of its five matches and re
mains a top-10 team.
However, Baylor looks to re
bound from its recent conference
loss to No. 18 Texas Tech.
The No. 7 Texas A&M men’s
team will travel to Baton Rouge,
Louisiana Thursday to face No.
24 LSU in its final conference
match of the regular season.
The Aggies (17-3, 10-1 SEC)
have now won nine straight
matches and plan to keep the
momentum going as they head to
the SEC tournament, where they
are projected to be a top seed.
A&M has been led by freshman
AJ Catanzariti, who has won 11
straight singles matches and con-
Cody Franklin —THE BATTALION
Arthur Rinderknech has contributed to the Aggie men's
tennis team wins.
tributed to 15 doubles wins.
The success at the bottom
of the lineup for the Aggies has
been key in a number of their
matches on this winning run. In
addition to Catanzariti, Jordi Ar-
conada, Max Lunkin and Arthur
Rinderknech have all provided
key wins for the Aggies.
The Tigers (16-5, 6-4 SEC)
have also relied on their depth
as of late, especially in their last
conference win at Auburn where
players on courts four through
six all tallied up points for LSU.
Although the Tigers were able
to leave Auburn with a tight vic
tory, they have often been on
the losing side of competitive
matches this season. Even with
four conference losses the Tigers
remain in the conversation of the
SEC tournament as they sit as the
No. 24 team in the nation.
The match begins at 3 p.m.
Thursday.
