No. 2 Texas A&M Loses Series to No. 9 Arkansas
Apr 26, 2025 | Softball
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The No. 2 Texas A&M softball team lost its second SEC series of the season after falling in game two against No. 9 Arkansas, 7-4, Saturday evening at Davis Diamond.
Texas A&M (40-8, 13-6 SEC) punched first in the opening frame after Kennedy Powell reached on a throwing error and stole second before Mac Barbara blasted her ninth home run of the season. Aggie starter Sydney Lessentine walked the first two batters and forced a fly out before Emily Leavitt entered the circle to retire the next eight batters.
Arkansas (36-9, 12-8 SEC) led off with a home run in the top of the fourth before stringing together three consecutive singles to even the score, 2-2. The Razorbacks hung consecutive crooked frames plating three runs, while capitalizing on two Aggie errors in the fifth for a three-run lead. The ensuing inning, Arkansas added to the advantage with a two-out two-run home run for a 7-2 lead in the sixth.
The Maroon & White made a valiant effort in a late comeback after KK Dement and DeeDee Baldwin each earned two-out bases-loaded RBI walks to trim the deficit to 7-4, before a fly out ended the game.
Lessentine suffered her second loss of the season going 1.1 innings, while allowing three runs on three hits and three walks.
NEXT UP
Sunday's series finale is slated for 12 p.m. and is broadcasted nationally on SEC Network with two-time Olympian Danielle Lawrie (analyst) and Courtney Lyle (play-by-play) in the booth.
