Apr 16, 2025 | Softball
COLUMBIA, Mo. – The No. 1 Texas A&M softball team looks to extend on its 12-game winning streak beginning with a doubleheader Thursday at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the Mizzou Softball Stadium.
Texas A&M (37-5, 11-3 SEC) and Missouri (22-24, 3-12 SEC) conclude the series Friday at 5 p.m. Each series game can be streamed on SEC Network+, while all Aggie softball games can be heard on the 12th Man Mobile app or locally on Willy 1550 AM with Matt Simon as the play-by-play voice in his 11th season with Texas A&M softball.
WHERE THE AGGIES ARE NATIONALLY
Texas A&M earned its first national No. 1 ranking in program history after being named the consensus No. 1 by all four nationally-recognized polls in Week 10. The Aggies have the No. 1 RPI in the nation, while their 19 wins against top 50 RPI teams are the most in the country. As of Tuesday, the Aggies rank fourth in the nation in hit-by-pitches (51), 8th in on-base percentage (.452) and 14th in batting average (.348), while their 317 total runs are 17th-most in the country. The Aggie pitching staff boasts a 2.36 ERA, ranking 16th in the NCAA and their WHIP of 1.19 is 23rd best. Individually, Mya Perez ranks No. 6 in the country with a .584 on-base percentage and No. 11 with 57 RBI. Amari Harper ranks ninth in hit-by-pitch (14) and No. 20 in on-base percentage (.559).
AGGIES IN THE SEC
The Aggies are in first place through six weekends of SEC action with an 11-3 record, while riding a six-game SEC winning streak matching a program best set in 2017. Texas A&M's pitching staff paces the league with the fewest hits allowed (80), while ranking second holding opposing hitters to a .223 batting average. Offensively, the Maroon & White rank first in on-base percentage (.423), second in batting average (.310) and third in runs scored (90) and doubles (19). Individually, Amari Harper leads the conference in batting average (.600), on-base percentage (.696) and hit-by-pitches (5), while ranking second in slugging percentage (1.133). Kennedy Powell's five stolen bases is tied for a league best, while Emiley Kennedy has kept opposing hitters in check with the SEC's third-best opposing batting average at .179. Texas A&M has won four-of-five series this season, including its first ever sweep of No. 6 LSU, a doubleheader sweep at No. 16 Georgia and a three-game series sweep at No. 22 Auburn. The Aggies claimed the home series over No. 24 Alabama, while taking only one game in a three-game set to No. 4 Florida at Davis. Since joining the SEC in 2013, the Aggies have swept a conference opponent on the road only five times — and they've done so in every road series this season. Under Ford, the Maroon & White have won 15-of-21 SEC series and have finished in the league's final standings five positions higher than what it was picked in each of the season's SEC coaches preseason poll.
ROAD WARRIORS
The Maroon & White are undefeated in true road games at 7-0, including a 5-0 ledger in SEC action. All seven wins have come against ranked opponents, including doubleheader sweeps at No. 8 Florida State and No. 16 Georgia, as well as a series sweep at No. 22 Auburn. Senior Allie Enright leads the offense on the road slashing .522/.577/.870 hitting 12-for-23, including two home runs, eight RBI and adding seven runs. Junior Amari Harper follows hitting 10-for-21 at the dish with two round trippers, eight RBI and six runs. Senior Emiley Kennedy has paced the pitching staff with a 3-0 record, including three complete games in the four starts. The left-handed ace has 25 strikeouts in 26.0 innings of work, while holding opposing batters to a .188 batting average. Each of the road trips have been at stadiums that rank in the top 25 in average attendance, including Auburn at No. 10 (1,836), Georgia at No. 13 (1,740) and Florida State at No. 23 (962). Entering the weekend, Missouri averages the sixth-highest attendance in the nation at 2,046.
MIZZOU PREVIEW
Julia Crenshaw paces the Mizzou offense with team highs in batting average (.381), hits (48), home runs (11) and slugging percentage (.738), followed by Taylor Ebbs with a .296 batting average and Kara Daly batting .289 at the dish. In the circle, Marissa McCann leads the Tigers in innings pitched (120.1), followed by Cierra Harrison (94.0). The all-time series is tied 38-38, while Texas A&M is only 5-24 when playing in Columbia. Since joining the SEC in 2013, the Aggies have been swept in Columbia in 2022, 2019 and 2016, while taking one of two in 2013. Texas A&M and Mizzou last faced off in 2023 at Davis Diamond with the Aggies taking the series. Koko Wooley led the returners hitting 6-for-12 with one double, one triple and scoring five runs.
