4/7/2023 10:48:00 PM | Softball
LAS CRUCES — The Sam Houston softball team had plenty of offense but could not close out New Mexico State in a pair of losses at NM State Softball Complex on Friday.
Â
The Bearkats hit six home runs in the doubleheader and scored a combined 14 runs. The Aggies responded each time Sam Houston took the lead as the Kats dropped to 14-26 overall and 5-6 in Western Athletic Conference play.
Â
The two teams will wrap up the three-game series Sunday at 2 p.m.
Â
NM State 9, Sam Houston 6
Â
Brailey Wasik blasted two home runs, but it was not enough to carry Sam Houston in a 9-6 loss to New Mexico State in game one of a Western Athletic Conference doubleheader on Friday at NM State Softball Complex.
Â
The Aggies jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning until the Bearkats started chipping away. Elia Hebel got Sam Houston on the board with a solo home run to right field in the second.
Â
Ellie Grill walked and Tricia Yarotsky was hit by a pitch with one out to begin the third. Wasik followed with a three-run bomb to right center field to put the Bearkats on top 4-2.
Â
After NM State tied the game with two runs in the bottom of the third, Wasik struck again to give Sam Houston a 6-4 lead in the fifth. Grill singled to begin the inning, and Wasik cleared the bases with a two-run home run to left.
Â
The Aggies were able to score five runs in the bottom half of the inning to secure the victory.
Â
NM State 10, Sam Houston 8
Â
New Mexico State scored five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to rally past Sam Houston for a 10-8 series-clinching victory in the nightcap on Friday.
Â
The Bearkats took an 8-5 lead in the top of the sixth when Emily Telg reached on an error to setup an RBI double by Ellie Grill. Tricia Yarotsky then launched her second two-run home run of the game to center field.
Â
The Aggies retook the lead with three home runs in the bottom of the frame and held on for the victory.
Â
Yarotsky hit a two-run shot in the first inning followed by a two-run single by Hannah Scheaffer to give Sam Houston a 4-0 lead. The other run came on Elia Hebel's solo home run in the fifth, her second of the day.
