Friday, May 15

Game 1: Texas A&M 17, UConn 3

Texas A&M rolled to an opening round victory at the Bryan-College Station regional, run-ruling UConn, 7-3, in five innings.

The Aggies batted through the line up and put up 13 runs on 10 hits in the bottom of the second inning to give starting pitcher Sidne Peters plenty of cushion in the circle.

KK Dement got things started with a two-run double. Ariel Kowaleski, Kelsey Mathis and Dement all left the yard that same inning, making a statement right away.

Savannah Ring prevented the shutout, homering to left in the top of the third for UConn. The Huskies tried to find momentum in the fifth, plating two on two hits but it would not nearly be enough.

Peters earned the win in the circle, striking out seven in 3.0 innings tossed. She was relieved by Kate Munnerlyn and later Sydney Lessentine who both threw 1.0 a piece.

Game 2: Arizona State 8, McNeese 0 (5 inn.)

Arizona State scored eight runs across five innings, on there way to a 8-0 success over McNeese.

The Sun Devils recorded 11 hits including five home runs from four individuals. ASU's nine batter in Tiare Ho-Ching went 2-for-3 with two bombs and three RBI. Samantha Swan and Kaylee Pond hit back-to-back jacks in the bottom of the second to get ASU on the board.

Ashleigh Mejia also took McNeese deep in the bottom of the fifth. Swan singled to shortstop, bringing home Tanya Windle to walk it off in run-rule fashion.

Meika Lauppe went the distance for Arizona State. She threw five innings, scattering five hits and fanned two in 18 batters faced.

Game 3: Texas A&M 3, Arizona State 4

It was a back and forth game, one which saw three lead changes and two ties. Ultimately, the Sun Devils would come out on top in a nail-biting 4-3 triumph.

Texas A&M took the lead in its first opportunity, plating two in the bottom of the first.

ASU's Katie Chester fired back with a two-run home run over the center field wall.

The Aggies snuck another run across in the fourth after a walk, a single, and an infield ground out worked the runners station to station.

It was Kaylee Pond's RBI single, scoring Nehanda Lewis that evened the score at three a piece in the top of the seventh. Two batters later, Emily Schepp (3-for-3, 2B, RBI) singled to the second baseman allowing Tanya Windle to reach home.

Kenzie Brown was dealt the W, chucking all seven innings, giving up three runs, two earned, and struck out six.

Game 4: UConn 5, McNeese 1

UConn's Cat Petteys led the Huskies at the plate offensively, going 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI on their way to beating McNeese 5-1 in an elimination game on Saturday.

Bella Cruz also clutched up with a double to center field to score two in the fourth.

Jada Munoz scored McNeese's only run with a solo shot in the sixth.

The Huskies' starting pitcher Jess Walter threw all seven, in a one-hit, one-run, complete game. She sent two batters down by way of the strike out.

McNeese left a total of 10 on base all contest and were unable to take advantage of UConn's four errors and eight free passes.

Game 5: Texas A&M 10, UConn 3

Texas A&M responded well after dropping a one-run game to ASU early on in the day.

The Aggies scored three runs shortly after the first pitch was thrown on three hits, a walk and a wild pitch.

UConn pounced on A&M's two errors in the bottom half of the inning to keep the game within reach.

However, two more runs in the fourth and another in the fifth, put the Aggies up by five.

The Huskies strung some hits together in the sixth as Heidi Barber took one deep to left and Kaitlyn Kibling drove in Savannah Ring on a single to right.

UConn's effort would fall short. Texas A&M's Ariel Kowalewski (3-for-4, 2 RBI), KK Dement (2-for-4, 3 RBI), and Paislie Allen (RBI) all went yard in the contest. Kowalewski and Allen's big blasts came on in the seventh to account for a four-run inning, delivering the dagger.

Game 6: No. 16 Texas A&M 1, Arizona State 9

Arizona State knocked out Bryan-College Station Regional host and 16th-ranked Texas A&M to advance to the NCAA Super Regional after beating the Aggies 9-1 on Sunday afternoon.

ASU's offense exploded for 12 hits as four athletes contributed multi-hit games including Kaylee Pond (2B, RBI), Samantha Swan (2B, 2 RBI), Yannixa Acuna, and Brooklyn Ulrich (HR, 4 RBI).

In the bottom of the first, ASU scored twice on back-to-back-to-back hits from the top of the lineup. A sac fly to third base would suffice for the second run.

The Sun Devils began to pull away in the second, as four hits led to three runs. With runners in scoring position, Pond singled followed by Swan's double to right. Emily Schepp put the ball in play and reached on a fielder's choice, enough to plate Pond.

Ulrich's grand slam to right center allowed ASU to walk it off in run-rule fashion, stunning the home crowd in just the fifth inning.

The Sun Devils are slated to hit the road again to play Texas in Austin beginning May 22 at Red & Charline McCombs Field.
