COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The 24th-ranked Texas A&M softball team plays the first of a five-game home stand against Oklahoma State on Wednesday. The first pitch of the doubleheader begins at 5 p.m. at the Aggie Softball Complex and fans are encouraged to wear white to the games.
The Aggies (23-14, 1-4 Big 12) are looking to snap a four-game losing streak on Wednesday. A&M won its Big 12 opener against Nebraska, but has dropped its last four straight, including two at No. 11 Missouri last weekend.
The Cowgirls (27-11, 3-3 Big 12) lost two tight contests at Baylor, falling 3-1 in nine innings on Saturday before being blanked 2-0 on Sunday. One Cowgirl provided all three hits in the shutout and OSU managed just eight hits on the weekend.
A&M leads the all-time series 34-20 against the Cowgirls and split two one-run games in Stillwater, Okla., last season. The Aggies dropped the first game, 6-5, and came back to take game two, 4-3, behind a six-strikeout complete game by Rhi Kliesing in the circle.
Live stats and free live audio and video are available for both games on AggieAthletics.com. In College Station, fans can also tune in to Sports Radio 1150 The Zone for the second game of the doubleheader.
General parking is free on days when there is not a baseball game and is available in lots 100g, 100j and 100k.
