Permit m A&M softball to face Lamar after weekend loss Senior Rachel Fox projected to take the mound TRANSPORTATION SERVICES TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY By Milkyas Gashaw Kw After a 2-1 loss over the week- end, the Texas A&M softball team lines up for a midweek visit from Lamar on Wednesday at the Aggie Softball Complex. The No. 23 Aggies (32-12, 8-7 SEC) fell 2-1 in their previous series against No. 6 Auburn. The pitching was inconsistent all weekend, but a bright spot in the circle was fresh man Kayla Ober, who took over on Friday after Auburn blasted senior Rachel Fox for seven runs in three innings. Head coach Jo Evans praised Ober and her ability to come into a tough situation and perform well. “I thought she was terrific,” Ev ans said. “She’s effective because she keeps the ball down and she’s not afraid to throw strikes to hitters. I’m pleased with what I saw, it was exactly what I anticipated. I thought she’d be effective against Auburn and she went out and did a good job. We always talk about being ready for your opportuni ties and after what she did tonight ... we know we can put her out there. She wasn’t intimidated at all by them and she made good plays defensively.” The Cardinals (21-19, 12-6 South land) got off to a rocky start to their season, losing eight of their first 11 games. They have since begun to turn their season around by winning seven of their next eight. The Cardinals are led on the circle by Laura Napoli, who leads the team with 17 complete games and 15 wins. BASEBALL CONTINUED State. Logan Taylor has been a home ran hitting machine for the Aggies. During the series against Mississippi State, Taylor had two home runs, and now has eight on the season. The Aggie pitching staff is the best in the country in team ERA (2.07). They feature a few aces and a strong bullpen behind them. Wednesday evening; Turner Lar kins will likely get the hBdforA&M on the mound. In his last start, Larkins worked 4 1/3 innings, allowing three earned runs on five hits last Tuesday against Rice. Larkins has a 3.43 ERA this year and boasts a 4-1 record in his nine starts on the year. A&M has never lost to the Wild cats in three all-time meetings. In their last meeting in 2014, the Ag gies won 20-2. A&M is 25-2 within the friendly confines of Olsen Field this year, while the Wildcats are 4-14 when playing on the road.

The Aggies are projected to send senior Rachel Fox to the circle on Wednesday. Fox has pitched admi rably this season with an 18-9 record and a team-high 17 complete games.
