Aggies Edged by No. 17 Georgia in Series Opener
Mar 25, 2022 | Softball
ATHENS, Ga. – The Texas A&M softball team (18-11, 1-6 SEC) suffered a 3-1 setback to the No. 17 Georgia Bulldogs (28-4, 3-1 SEC) on Friday night to open the three-game set at Jack Turner Stadium.
The Bulldogs capitalized on a fielding error in the third, scratching all three of their runs across in the frame. Rylen Wiggins' RBI single in the fourth marked the 22nd of the season for the sophomore.

Overall thoughts on the game…
"I thought (Makinzy) Herzog threw a great game. We don't expect her to be perfect, and she was nearly perfect tonight. We field that pop-up and we're out of the inning with no runs. It's tough, but Herzog did everything we asked her to do."
On lack of offensive production…
"Offensively, we have to be better. We're putting a lot of pressure on our pitchers to have to be nearly perfect and that's not the way the game is set up. It's set up to score runs."
UP NEXT
The Aggies and the Bulldogs continue the series tomorrow at 5 p.m. CT, and the game airs nationally on SEC Network.
