The Texas A&M softball team took game two of the final SEC series of the season versus the Ole Miss Rebels 8-6 to move to 2-0 in the series.
The Aggies quickly took over the first inning after a lead off double from freshman Tori Vidales, before a walk from April Ryan and an error put Cali Lanphear on loading the bases and giving the Ags the opportunity to score. It was then when the catcher Ashley Walters drew an RBI walk to give the lead to the Aggies.
With the bases loaded, the designated player Celena Massey, stepped up to the plate and hit a two run double, sending Lanphear and April Ryan home to advance the Aggies lead to 3-0.
A&M starting pitcher Katie Marks quickly retired three batters in order in the second with a strike out followed by two pop ups.
The Aggies added one more to the board in the bottom of the fourth after Clopton made it to third base on an error followed by a walk from Vidales, ultimately leading to an out from Ryan that sent Clopton home.
Marks allowed one runner on in the top of the fifth, but with two outs the Rebels weren’t able to score after Marks threw her third strike out of the game, leaving the runner stranded.
With runners on at second and third and two outs in the bottom of the fifth, pinch hitter Hailey Rebar stepped in with a single up the middle, sending both runners home giving the Aggies the 6-0 lead.
