Arizona comes in at 3-0 with convincing wins over Indiana, Utah and Nebraska. They're ranked #1 in the ESPN poll, but I will note UCLA has one more first place vote.

Aggies up to the plate to start the game.

3 up, 3 down for the Aggies.

The Wildcats about to get their first at bats for the day in a few minutes. After this game, they'll be staying on the campus of archrival Arizona State to face Oklahoma.

I know this is the #1 we're playing, but I'm worried about our offense.

We've been very patient, but we're not making contact when we're swinging the bat.

This really isn't anything new. It's the same anemic trends we saw last season.

That seems to be the Joe Evans approach.

I'd like to see us more aggressive at the plate.

Aggies score! Aggies score! Aggies score! Aggies score!

After Meagan May collected her first hit of the season, pinch runner Rayburn comes around on an error.

Tysarcyzk strikes out swinging to end a 10 pitch at bat.
May singles up the middle. Rayburn steals 2nd on a Fowler changeup.
Kliesing BB.
Spittler hits a lazy ground ball, but the throw sails over firstbase. Rayburn comes around to score. Kliesing to 3rd. Spittler to 2nd.

Morgan at the plate now with 1 out and runners on second and third.

TXAggie2011
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Morgan grounds to 3rd coming back in as the DP. Del Ponte was able to check the pinch runner, Tovar, at 3rd.

2nd and 3rd are occupied, two outs. Your Aggies are tied at 1 with the #1 ranked team in the nation.

We're headed to the bottom of the 4th after another strikeout strands two Aggie runners.

But, the Aggies have taken the lead, 2-1!!!!!

With two outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Amber Garza fought back to force a full count then grounds one to Fowler in the circle. It bounces off her glove and she can't collect in time to make a throw!

Garza takes 2nd with no throw.
Orsak strikes out.

Lead off homerun for Arriola. It was a batting practice pitch and a batting practice rocket off the bat.

2-2 in the bottom of the 4th.



I've got to step away from my laptop, but I'll be back with updates in about 10 minutes.

Arizona's Lastrapes narrowly missed a homerun, but follows it up with a double and a terrible throw from Spittler sends Lastrapres to 3rd with no outs.

Dumezich gets a ground ball, but doesn't make her mind up where to throw it until its too late.

Lastrapes on 3rd with Schutzler is on 1st. There are no outs.

Sisk is now in for Spittler in LF. I'm not sure what the problem is.
TXAggie2011
How long do you want to ignore this user?
After May and Kliesing let a foul ball drop between them, Nat Villareal commits an error at 2B on a Del Ponte grounder. Lastrapes comes in to score. To be fair, she might have scored anyways on the groundball

3-2 Arizona.

Koria reaches 1st. Bases juiced. 1 out.
