Cowgirl Softball Falls To Texas A&M
April 22, 2004 | Cowgirl Softball
Weather played a huge part in Oklahoma State's softball games on Wednesday and after a rain delay lasting two hours and 15 minutes the Cowgirls fell to the Aggies, 3-2, in the first contest and were forced from the field after two innings in the second game due to lightning and storms moving into the area.
A&M took an early 2-0 lead in the first inning with a two-RBI double from Kristin Gunter. The Cowgirls narrowed the gap to 2-1 in the bottom of the second when Stephanie Nicholson scored on a throwing error from A&M's third baseman.
The Aggies scored one more in the fifth but couldn't pull away from the Cowgirls as OSU cut the lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the frame on a RBI single from Megan Carey. Shanel Scott reached on a walk and moved to second on a sacrifice from Courtney Totte to get in scoring position.
Hoppock took the loss for the Cowgirls, scattering six hits and giving up three runs off four walks and five strikeouts.
Scott reached on a walk in each of her four plate appearances, tying a record for walks in a game set by Associate Head Coach Kim Ward in 1994.
The teams quickly took the field for the second half of the doubleheader but managed to play just two innings before weather intervened again. The score was tied 0-0 after two innings and the Aggies had two runners on base with one out when the game was called.
