COLLEGE STATION — The Sam Houston softball team made No. 21 Texas A&M work for a 7-3 victory at Davis Diamond on Tuesday evening.
Â
After jumping out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning thanks to a solo home run by Kylie Hobbs to left field, the Bearkats (6-9) saw the advantage slip away when the Aggies plated five runs in the bottom of the frame to take the lead.
Â
Sam Houston wasn't going quietly.
Â
Morgan Holliday singled through the left side to begin the fifth inning and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Hannah Scheaffer. Hobbs drove in her second run of the game on a single up the middle to trim the lead to 5-2.
Â
Ellie Grill reached on a two-out error that moved Hobbs to second. Texas A&M then committed two more errors on a grounder by Haleigh Carter, the second a throwing error that brought Hobbs around to score to make it a two-run game.
Â
The Aggies couldn't answer in the bottom half of the inning, but the Kats never got closer. Texas A&M added a pair of runs in the sixth to lockdown the victory.
Â
Sam Houston returns home to host Abilene Christian in a three-game series this weekend. The two teams begin with a doubleheader on Friday with the first game set for 4 p.m. The finale will be Saturday at noon. Â
