Head coach Trisha Ford notched her first Top 25 win of the season as Texas A&M moves to 5-0 after defeating the No. 14 Oregon Ducks 4-1 in the Campbell/Cartier Classic in San Diego.
The Aggies got out to an early lead with a four-hit, two-run second inning to go up 2-0. Lefty pitcher Emiley Kennedy got out of a jam in the bottom of the third, only giving up one run after allowing the hits and hitting on the batter. A&M extended their lead when pinch hitter Ayiana Coleman delivered again for Coach Ford with a single through the left side, scoring two for a score of 4-1.
Kenndy stayed hot from the mound, striking out four of the final nine batters for a new career high of 11 strikeouts, completing a full game. Allie Enright led the team with two hits while Ayiana Coleman, Rylen Wiggins, Amari Harper, Trisha Cannon, and Jaz Hill all had hits as well.
