Texas A&M rallies past top‑ranked Sooners in series opener
A&M rallied past No. 1 Oklahoma after a suspended finish, scoring five in the sixth and closing the door in the seventh to take a 1–0 series lead.
The Texas A&M softball team has positioned itself to close the regular season with a statement, opening its final SEC series by rallying past No. 1 Oklahoma in a suspended‑and‑resumed Game 1 at Davis Diamond. It took an extra day to finish, but a late surge and a shutdown seventh inning delivered an 8–5 win and a 1–0 series lead.
Coming off a low‑scoring series loss to South Carolina in which only 10 total runs were scored across three games, the Aggies were looking for a response . That challenge grew tougher with the Sooners arriving in College Station, and early on, it looked as if Oklahoma might take control. A&M committed an error in the top of the second inning, and the Sooners capitalized with four runs to build early separation.
The Aggies answered immediately. After Ariel Kowalewski drew a walk, Kelsey Mathis doubled to put two runners in scoring position. Paislie Allen delivered a two‑RBI single to cut the deficit in half heading into the third inning.
