On a cool, sunny afternoon in Oxford, Mississippi, the Texas A&M softball team went to work for the second time against the Ole Miss Rebels in front of a sparse crowd. After a Game 1 loss on Friday night, it was up to the No. 24 Aggies to tie up the series and improve their conference record.
The Aggies wasted no time flashing their offensive abilities, as sophomore SS Koko Wooley singled up the middle on the first pitch of the game. The next two Aggie batters were hit by pitches, loading the bases for junior C Julia Cottrill. She drove a single to right field, scoring Wooley. Senior RF Morgan Smith then crushed a double to right, scoring the three Aggies who were already on base. Cottrill was running so fast that she almost beat junior 1B Trinity Cannon, who was on second, to home plate.
After all of this action, which resulted in a pitching change for Ole Miss, the Rebels did not respond with any scoring of their own. This was the result of excellent pitching by senior RHP Madison Preston, who got two strikeouts in the first inning.
