No. 6 Texas A&M Steals Series Opener, 5-4, at No. 22 Auburn
Mar 14, 2025 | Softball
AUBURN – The No. 6 Texas A&M softball team stole game one in extra innings, 5-4, against No. 22 Auburn Friday night at Jane B. Moore Field.
Kennedy Powell drove in Koko Wooley to give Texas A&M (22-4, 2-2 SEC) its first lead, while Mya Perez followed with an RBI double as the Aggies carried a 5-3 lead to the bottom of the eighth. Auburn (20-6, 0-4 SEC) cut the deficit in half with a solo shot, before Emiley Kennedy forced a pair of ground outs to end the game.
Kennedy earned her seventh win of the season going the distance and striking out a season-high 11 batters. After putting herself behind the eight ball in the opening frame by allowing three runs on two hits and two walks, the All-American settled down and retired seven of the next eight batters as the Aggies trailed 3-0 through the third.
In the ensuing inning, Harper put the Maroon & White on the board with a two-run dinger to right center to bring the Aggies within one, 3-2. Ol' Sarge's charges kept battling and evened the playing field in the sixth when Powell scored after a sliding collision at the plate via sac fly from Harper, to tie it 3-3.
The Aggies were sat down in order to begin the seventh frame, while Kennedy struck out the side swinging to send the game to extra innings.
UP NEXT
Game two of the series is set for Saturday at 11 a.m. on SEC Network with Mark Neely (play-by-play) and Madison Shipman (analyst) on the call.
