The No. 16 Texas A&M softball team (11-1) will host former the Sam Houston State Bearkats (4-10) in a midweek match-up beginning at 4 p.m. at the Aggie Softball Field on Wednesday.
"We have played really well so far this season," A&M head coach Jo Evans stated. "We are excited to play our eighth home game in the last week because of the great fan support that we have had so far this season. The student's involvement in the games has been tremendous and their impact can be seen by the performance on the field."
The Aggies are off to their best start since the 1991 squad also began the season with an 11-1 record. A&M began the season with a nine-game win streak. The last time A&M won that many non-conference games in a row was 2002 when they reeled off 12 straight. Last season the Aggies had an 11-game conference win streak.
The Aggies have played solid ball all the way around this year as they boast a .395 team batting average and staff ERA of 0.99.
Sam Houston State enters the game with a 4-10 record, a team average of .274 and a staff ERA of 4.85.
