Kennedy Shuts Down Michigan, 6-0
Feb 29, 2024 | Softball
FULLERTON, Calif. – Texas A&M starter Emiley Kennedy struck out 12 batters in a three-hit shutout win over Michigan, 6-0, Thursday at Anderson Family Field.
Kennedy (8-0) dominated the circle to remain undefeated on the season, while registering a seventh complete game and fifth shutout of the year. The hard lefty thrower punched out double-digit batters for the third time this season and second consecutive outing. Michigan (10-6) sent 25 batters to plate, while four reached safely and only one threatened in scoring position.
Texas A&M (16-1) scored one run in the opening frame and later doubled the lead after a solo home run courtesy of Jazmine Hill in the third. The Aggies have homered in 13 games this season, including a round tripper in four consecutive games. Ol' Sarge's charges opened it up in the fifth inning plating four runs on three hits, including a two-run double by Rylen Wiggins to make it 6-0.
