BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M softball team (26-18) hosts Lamar (9-30) for a midweek contest on Wednesday at Davis Diamond. First pitch between the Aggies and the Cardinals is set for 6 p.m. and airs nationally on SEC Network.
ROLLING PAST THE TIDE
For the first time in program history, the Aggies took the series over No. 2 Alabama last weekend. Friday's 6-4 victory marked the first win for A&M over a No. 2-ranked team since beating Florida in the NCAA Super Regionals in 2018. On Saturday, the Aggies run-ruled the Crimson Tide, 9-1, in five innings marking the first run-rule of Alabama by a Southeastern Conference opponent since A&M did so in 2016. Additionally, the Crimson Tide had not been run-ruled by an unranked team since 1997.
In the pair of wins, the Aggies' pitching staff of Grace Uribe, Makinzy Herzog and Emiley Kennedy posted a combined earned run average of 0.58, while Alabama's staff posted a 7.88 ERA.
