STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State's 23rd-ranked softball team lost its final regular-season conference game here Sunday afternoon, falling to Texas A&M, 7-0, at Cowgirl Stadium.
The Aggies scored one run in each of the second, third and fifth innings. A&M scored its first run when Lisa Klam led off the second with a double, and scored on an RBI-single by Angie Shetler. Selena Collins led off the third with a solo home run, her fifth of the season, making the score 2-0.
In the fifth, Shetler scored on a base hit by Angie Long after reaching base on a error. Shetler stole second, and then scored on the up-the-middle hit by Long.
Oklahoma State stayed in the game, getting baserunners on but failing to reach home. The Cowgirls stranded eight runners, including a runner on third with one out in the fourth.
A&M added four runs in the seventh inning on five straight base hits to start the inning. Collins led off with a double, and was followed by a Kelly Ferguson base hit. Tiffany Esters followed with a three-run homer, her fourth of the season, over the leftfield fence. The Aggies got two more hits, and Klam scored on an error from third after reaching on a wild pitch.
