Softball Continues with Texas A&M Invitational This Weekend
Feb 17, 2022 | Softball
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M softball team returns to Davis Diamond this weekend and hosts Kansas, Missouri State, Stephen F. Austin and Pitt for the Texas A&M Invitational.
GOING THE EXTRA DISTANCE
Three Aggies tripled in Wednesday night's contest at Sam Houston making it the first time since 2019 that A&M had recorded three triples in a single game. The triples for freshmen Koko Wooley and Cayden Baker were the first extra-base hits of their careers, while Morgan Smith's was the fourth triple of her career.
DINGER SEASON
Katie Dack and Mayce Allen each belted home runs on Wednesday night at Sam Houston, giving A&M 10 on the year through its first six contests. Dack launched a three-run bomb for her second long ball of the season in the opening frame, while Allen stepped in to pinch hit and lifted her first career homer over the right field wall. Sophomore Trinity Cannon leads the Aggies in the category with three.
SCOUTING THE OPPONENTS
The Aggies (6-0) begin and end the Texas A&M Invitational with games against the Kansas Jayhawks (4-1). Head coach Jo Evans will face off against Texas A&M Hall of Famer and All-American, Jennifer McFalls, who graduated in 1997 and was also a member of Team USA in the 2000 Olympics.
Sandwiched between those two contests are meetings with Missouri State (1-4), SFA (1-5) and Pitt (2-3). The Aggies have combined to win the last 25 matchups collectively between the three programs.
