Harrington Tosses Complete-Game Shutout as No. 17 Texas A&M Downs Sam Houston State, 2-0
Feb 15, 2017 | Softball
COLLEGE STATION – The No. 17 Texas A&M softball team defeated Sam Houston State, 2-0, behind a complete-game shutout by junior Trinity Harrington Wednesday evening at the Aggie Softball Complex.
Harrington fanned eight and allowed only one hit to earn her second victory and first shutout of the season. The Greeley, Colo., native retired the first 12 batters she faced and only allowed three baserunners.
In the fifth inning, Sam Houston State threatened with runners on second and third with no outs but Harrington thwarted the rally with two strikeouts and a ground out to end the inning.
With two outs and nobody on in the sixth, junior Tori Vidales got the Aggies started with a base hit up the middle. After juniors Ashley Walters and Kristen Cuyos reached base via a walk and single, respectively, freshman Sarah Hudek delivered a two-RBI single into right to give the Maroon and White the lead.
The Aggies put their 19 game non-conference home win streak on the line this weekend as they host Missouri State, New Mexico and Stephen F. Austin in the Texas A&M Invitational at the Aggie Softball Complex beginning Friday.

Texas A&M Quotes
Head Coach Jo Evans
On timely hitting from freshman Sarah Hudek…
"It was nice to see her step up when we needed it. We had been trying to figure out how to get ourselves on base all night. It was great to see her get up there and pull the ball in that situation. She plays the game with a lot of fire and it's nice to see her out there getting fired up."
On Trinity Harrington's performance…
"I thought she was terrific tonight. She had great bite on her drop ball and a small adjustment she made in the bullpen yesterday made all the difference today. She just wants the win and she wants our team to win and she's going to do whatever she can to get a win. She's being a lot more efficient right now. Strikeouts will come for her; I don't really care that much about strikeouts. She's able to get out there, be efficient and throw ground balls. When she's at her best, she's got that bite on the drop where she can get us outs early and when we need a strikeout, she can do that too. I was very pleased with the way she looked out there tonight."
