Box Score

COLLEGE STATION, Texas ---- Oklahoma State softball was defeated by No. 5 Texas A&M Saturday, 9-1, in five innings at the Aggie Softball Complex. The Aggies hit three home runs on their way to scoring in every inning to secure the series victory.

Oklahoma State's offensive bright spot came in the top of the third thanks to a Rylee Bayless solo home run to center to cut the deficit to 3-1.

"We just need to get back out here tomorrow and get this team back on a good roll," head coach Kenny Gajewski said. "This is three in a row we've lost. It's obviously been to two really good teams but I feel like we're a really good team. We just have to show that."

Oklahoma State (25-14) found itself trailing early after an Aggie home run in the bottom of the first to take a 1-0 lead.

Texas A&M (35-3) extended its lead to 3-0 in the bottom of the second with a two-run home run to center.

Bayless got the Cowgirls on the board in the top of the third with a leadoff home run to cut the deficit to 3-1 but it wouldn't be enough.

A&M extend its lead in the bottom of the third and fourth to take the 9-1 it wouldn't surrender on its way to the run-rule victory.

Taylor Lynch finished 2-for-3 at the plate, while Bayless was 1-for-3 with the home run. Shippy was accounted for the other two OSU hits going 2-for-3.

Shea Coats (5-6) took the loss for the Cowgirls in the circle, going 2.2 innings. She allowed five runs on three hits and had a strikeout.
