The Texas A&M softball team had its eight-game winning streak snapped on Sunday afternoon with a narrow loss against Mississippi State.
The No. 21 Bulldogs (21-6, 3-3 SEC) avoided the sweep with a 6-5 victory, giving the No. 17 Aggies (25-3, 5-1) their first conference loss of the season. Texas A&M coach Trisha Ford spoke to the media postgame.
“I thought we just didn’t do a great job of executing our gameplan,” Ford explained. “We had a couple of opportunities there. The zone was pretty tight for both teams and we didn’t do a good job of executing and kind of using that to our advantage. That’s just how it goes, they had more fight in us. That’s what I talked to the team about.
‘Sundays are hard, Sundays we have to figure out how to come out here and grind it out.'”
The Aggies had the tying run at third base in the top of the seventh inning but were unable to get the runner home.
“We were in the right part of the lineup for us to do some damage,” Ford recalled. “We just ran out of time.”
