She has the hottest bat on the team right now with a ridiculous .609 batter average, 3 home runs, 14 RBI, and a 1.174 slugging percentage.

Below is the excerpt from the SEC press release naming Enright as the SEC Co-Player of the Week.

“Texas A&M’s Allie Enright, a junior outfielder from Santa Clarita, Calif., led the Aggie offense this past week as she went 8-for-14 with four runs scored and three RBI at the Campbell/Cartier Classic. In the two wins over No. 17/14 Oregon, Enright was 3-for-4, including an RBI double in Sunday’s finale against the Ducks. In her 14 at-bats, she struck out only once while drawing two walks.”

Texas A&M pitcher Emiley Kennedy earns SEC Pitcher of the Week

Texas A&M junior pitcher Emiley Kennedy earned SEC Co-Player of the Week after the Aggies 5-0 weekend at the Campell/Cartier Classic

Building off a productive sophomore year the junior lefty Emiley Kennedy has been blowing by the competition through the first nine games of the season. The Aggies technically don’t have an “ace” but Coach Trisha Ford knows she can go to her 6’2″ flame thrower to get the outs she needs.

After two weekends Kennedy has already surpassed her career high in strikeouts recording 11 against the No.23 Oregon Ducks. For the year she’s pitched 25.2 innings, has 35 strikeouts, and boasts a 1.06 era with 4 wins. It’s early but she is showing good control of her pitches and still has room for growth.

Below is the excerpt from the SEC press release naming Kennedy as the SEC Co-Pitcher of the Week.

“Texas A&M’s Emiley Kennedy, a junior left-hander from The Woodlands, Texas, recorded two complete game wins and two saves in a 5-0 week for the Aggies. In her two appearances against No. 17/14 Oregon, Kennedy struck out 15 batters in 9.0 innings of work. She recorded a 7.0 inning complete game and struck out 11 on Friday. She then threw 2.0 innings and struck out four in a save appearance on Sunday. One the week, Kennedy registered 23 strikeouts in 16.2 innings of work.”

Another undefeated weekend moves the Texas A&M softball team to 9-0 to start the season

Head coach Trisha Ford has the Aggies off to a hot start, going 5-0 on the weekend capped off by beating No. 14 Oregon twice.

Texas A&M (9-0) will travel back from San Diego undefeated, beating No. 14 Oregon twice over the weekend. There’s not a much better start you can ask for and they were able to win in a multitude of ways. head coach Trisha Ford mentioned before the season that she was excited about this team and how much deeper they are as a squad compared to last year.

The Campbell/Cartier Classic was no walk in the park either, starting against the No. 14 Oregon Ducks, then followed by San Diego State, who made it to a Super Regional last season. After opening up the tournament with a 4-1 win over the Ducks, they held off the Aztecs for a 7-5 victory. Then, following a 10-2 run rule over victory LMU, they battled the Aztecs again and ended with a 1-0 win.

In their final game of the weekend, they had to face Oregon for a second time. After a rough start to the weekend for the Ducks, they seem to have started to find their bats, making the matchup against the Aggies. Scoreless through four innings, a red-hot Allie Enright hit a double into left field, scoring Kramer Eschete for a 1-0 lead. All-SEC Catcher added an insurance run with a solo homer in the sixth for the game’s final run. Emiley Kennedy continued her dominance from the mound, coming in to close out the game for a final score of 2-0.

Below are some of the best moments from the weekend courtesy of the Texas A&M softball social media.

A pair of Aggies earn a top 100 ranking from Softball America.

Coach Trisha Ford is past the honeymoon phase in Aggieland and is ready to push her team to the next level. To get there she brought in a few familiar faces from her ASU days and kept the core of her team together which can be a chore on its own.

Softball America named Julia Cottrill (64) and Jazmine Hill (76) as both landed on that list. Both players also came in nationally ranked in their respective positions with Cottrill at No. 6 for catchers and Hill at No. 19 for outfield.

Texas A&M will open the season at Davis Diamond when they host the Aggie Classic from February 9 -11th.
