HUNTSVILLE — The Sam Houston softball team fought to the end but came up short in a 5-4 loss to New Mexico State in an elimination game at the WAC Tournament on Wednesday.

Brailey Wasik singled and
Kylie Hobbs roped an RBI double into right center field to make it 4-3.
The Aggies rallied in the top of the seventh. Ramsey Lopez hit a two-run home run, and Sam Houston could not answer in the bottom of the frame to pull out the victory.
New Mexico State took a 2-0 lead in the third.
Emily Telg, who had a monster game at the plate for the Kats, cut the advantage to one when she ripped a solo home run to left field in the bottom half of the inning.
After the Aggies retook the lead at 3-1, Telg once again answered the call for Sam Houston. She rocked a two-run double to left center field to bring home
Elia Hebel and
