These are the types of midweek games that make your team better. No. 19 Texas A&M (26-13) took on a very tough Louisiana (30-12) team at Davis Diamond in a very intense seven innings. The game had a total of 16 runners left on base between both teams and even though the Aggies were out hit they still managed to win 4-2 on the back of some solid defense.
After the game Head Coach Trisha Ford gave her thoughts
“That was a really good win for us. It was a great game. I thought we did a lot of things on both sides of the plate well. My mind first goes to Paige Lott, Star Ferguson and Riley Valentine. Just coming in and doing things to help our team and they do it every single day at practice. It showed up tonight. Paige got the start in left field with a big hit. Star Ferguson, same thing, had a great at-bat. Amari went down with just a contusion on her thigh, so she’ll be fine, but Riley Valentine hadn’t really practiced at second base. She played shortstop in high school so she’s kind of our option. We got it done. I thought it was fitting that the last ground ball went to Valentine. Kennedy, again, lights out. It’s fun to watch. I’m hoping that we just continue to see her grow and keep using that change up.”
