Late Rally Completes Sweep of Kentucky, 9-6
Mar 22, 2026 | Softball
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – A seven-run sixth inning propelled No. 15 Texas A&M past Kentucky, 9-6, to complete the series sweep Sunday afternoon at Davis Diamond.
Trailing by two in the sixth, Maudi Sauni delivered a two-RBI double to tie the game at four. Frankie Vrazel followed with a triple down the right-field line to give the Aggies their first lead. Micaela Wark then extended the advantage with a three-run home run, pushing the lead to 9-4.
Texas A&M (22-9, 5-1 SEC) held off a late Kentucky rally after a double and two-run home run cut the deficit to three. Sydney Lessentine closed the door with a groundout and lineout to secure the 9-6 win.
Wark led the Aggies, going 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI, while Sauni and Kennedy Powell each drove in two runs. Nine Aggies recorded a hit as Texas A&M posted double-digit hits for the second time in the series.
Sidne Peters (9-3) earned her second win of the weekend, striking out four over 5.0 innings of relief while allowing one earned run on two hits and one walk.
Kentucky (20-12, 1-8 SEC) struck first in the opening frame with a two-out RBI double. Texas A&M answered in the second when Kennedy Powell grounded out with the bases loaded to score KK Dement.
After an Aggie fielding error and a fielder's choice, Texas A&M trailed 2-1 through four innings. The Maroon & White tied the game, 2-2, in the fifth when Mya Perez singled up the middle to score pinch runner Hailey Golden.
Kentucky regained the lead in the sixth with a two-run home run, taking a 4-2 advantage before the Aggies' decisive rally.
