Box Score

SAN MARCOS, Texas – Errors proved to be costly on Wednesday night as the Texas State softball team fell to No. 13 Texas A&M by a score of 9-2 at the Bobcat Softball Stadium. The Bobcats finished the game with three errors and six walks in the defeat.  
 
Sophomore Kelli Baker led the Bobcats (13-9) offensively, hitting her first home run of the season in the bottom of the third, while finishing the game going 2-for-3.
 
After getting out of a jam in the top of the first, Texas State entered the bottom half of the inning on an even playing field against the Aggies (17-4). Baker got the ball rolling for the Bobcats, hitting a bloop single over the second baseman's head to make her way to the bases. Three batters later, Courtney Harris stepped up to the plate to hit the second bloop single of the inning over the shortstop's head, scoring Kelli Baker who was standing on second.
 
The Aggies then capitalized on a pair of Bobcat errors in the top of the second, scoring four to take over the lead of the game.
 
Baker's home run in the bottom of the third brought the Bobcats within four of the Aggies and would prove to be the final Texas State run of the contest.  
 
Courtney Harris halted the Aggies from adding more in the top of the seventh, catching a rocket down the line. With a runner on third, Texas A&M got caught up after Harris's quick snag as the junior third baseman stepped on the bag for the second out of the double-play.
 
Rayn House earned the loss, falling to 10-5 on the year. She put in six innings of work while striking out six. Harris finished the game with a perfect 2-for-2 mark at the plate. Kortney Koroll and Katie Doerre also recorded a hit for the Bobcats.
 
Texas State will now take the weekend off before returning to the Softball Stadium to take on Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in a double header on March 11. First pitch in San Marcos is scheduled for 2 p.m. and the second game of the day will follow immediately after the first. Live stats, live video and radio can be found at txstatebobcats.com.
