It was a rough weekend in the office for the Texas A&M (28-7, 8-4 SEC) softball team in Baton Rouge. They entered the weekend as one of the hottest teams in the SEC but left as one of the coolest. The Aggies’ had way too many missed opportunities, and a few calls did go their way leading to Coach Trisha Ford’s team being swept by a solid LSU team. They will need to take their midweek game seriously to work on a few things before they are back to SEC play on April 2.
