Overall thoughts on the game…
"I thought both teams did a really nice job of fighting back. It was a lot of back-and-forth, pitching changes and different strategy going on. We could have cleaned it up a little bit. We get ourselves in a bind when the lead runner gets on, but I loved our fight and that our kids are still out there looking for ways to win."

The Aggies and the Lady Vols continue the series tomorrow at 3 p.m. CT.
