Long Ball Not Enough to Lift Aggies Past Lady Vols
Apr 17, 2022 | Softball
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Texas A&M softball team (24-16, 3-11 SEC) had an offensive outburst in the top of the sixth inning on Sunday, but the No. 14 Tennessee Lady Vols (29-12, 10-6 SEC) tacked on seven runs in the final two frames to take the game, 11-8.
A&M saw four different Aggies hit home runs in the sixth inning, as Haley Lee, Trinity Cannon, Katie Dack and Morgan Smith all left the yard. The Aggies' four homers marks the most in a Southeastern Conference game since belting five against Auburn in 2016.

On offensive outburst…
"I thought our offense did such a great job today. We went out and made an adjustment at the plate and got to every pitcher we saw. It was great seeing us get four home runs in one inning."
On relief piching by Grace Uribe…
"I was really pleased with Grace. Emiley (Kennedy) went out there and pitched her heart out and she kept us in the game. We needed what we got from Grace. She came into the game in relief, threw her pitches and really settled in."
UP NEXT
The Aggies and the Lady Vols wrap up the three game series tomorrow on SEC Network at 6 p.m. CT.
