A&M-Victoria softball unable to overcome fourth inning in series finale with A&M-Texarkana

A three-run fourth inning proved decisive as the Texas A&M University-Victoria softball team dropped a 3–0 decision to Texas A&M-Texarkana on Friday afternoon at the Victoria Youth Sports Complex.

The Jaguars were limited to four hits and left runners aboard in five innings, unable to generate offense against a steady opposing pitching performance despite several late scoring chances.

A&M‑Victoria fell to 21–12 overall and 12–6 in Red River Athletic Conference play. 

Key Moments

The game remained scoreless until the top of the fourth inning, when Texas A&M Texarkana struck for three runs. The first run scored on a double to left field that was followed by a throwing error, allowing the runner to advance and score.

An RBI single later in the inning pushed the lead to 2-0, and the third run crossed the plate on a wild pitch, capping the decisive rally.

A&M‑Victoria threatened in the sixth inning after a leadoff bunt single and a sacrifice moved a runner into scoring position, but the Jaguars were unable to convert. Another baserunner reached in the seventh, though the comeback attempt again stalled.

Top Performers

For A&M‑Victoria, Khamryn Werdlow, Alyssa Carter, Cristela Trevino and Deeandra Maldonado had the Jaguars' four hits on Friday.

In the circle, Kailea Freeman pitched a complete game, allowing three runs on seven hits while working through traffic for much of the afternoon. Freeman issued five walks and surrendered the three-run fourth inning but kept the Jaguars within reach the rest of the way.
