LEADING OFF
A&M is 5-1 since moving All-American Haley Lee to the lead-off spot in the batting order at Georgia on March 27. The Maroon & White has scored 65 runs with the senior at the top of the order, which is 29% of the total runs scored by A&M this season. Over their last six contests, the Aggies are averaging 10.8 runs per game, while Lee has extended her reached base streak to 16-straight and has reached base safely in all but two games this season.
NEED FOR SPEED
In A&M's victory over the University of Incarnate Word Cardinals on Tuesday, the Aggies swiped nine bases as a team led by freshman Koko Wooley who finished with four. Wooley's four stolen bags were the most by an Aggie in a single game since Jamie Hinshaw swiped just as many in 2006.
RUNNING AWAY FROM OPPONENTS
Run-rule No. 12 for the Aggies came on Tuesday when they used a five-run sixth inning to take down UIW, 10-2. The Aggies have four run-rules in their last five games. Texas A&M's seven run-rule victories in its first 11 games this season marked a program record, besting the six run-rule wins in the first 11 outings in 2005 and 2019.
HISTORY WITH THE TIGERS
LSU holds the slim 16-12 series advantage over A&M, while the Aggies are 7-7 in contests at home. Last season, the Maroon & White opened the three-game set in Baton Rouge with a 2-1 win, as Makinzy Herzog tossed six strikeouts in the complete-game effort. The Tigers took the final two contests to win the series.
FOLLOW ALONG
All three games are available for streaming via SEC Network+. Additionally, fans can tune in locally on 97.3 FM or inside the 12th Man Mobile App or follow along with live stats.
