The Texas A&M softball team went 4-0 in the Aggie Classic for a strong start to the season
The long ball was on full display over the weekend with the Aggies hitting an impressive 12 home runs over four games. They outscored their opponents 39-9 on 34 hits and ran the bases well.
It’s a good start but they still have some work to do as they allowed 9 runs in just two games. Besides that, Coach Trisha Ford has a lot to like from what she’s seen so far.
“For Aggie softball um I thought our offense tonight um was just absolutely dynamic I don’t know just lots of hard hit balls they’ve been working hard our lineup as you can tell has changed quite dramatically from last year”
“..just you know for me it’s first you know day of the season so some good and some things that we need to improve on which I think is always good.”
There is a lot to be excited about going forward and you can watch some of the highlights from the successful weekend.
Keely Williams gets the first home run of the season.
