Texas A&M softball picks up another SEC series win over Missouri during the weekend
No. 1 Texas A&M (39-6, 13-4 SEC) secured another SEC series victory after beating Missouri (23-26, 4-14 SEC) 2 out of 3 games at the Mizzou Softball Stadium over the weekend.
The Aggies escaped Missouri with a series win after a tough three-game series against a scrappy Tigers team on the road. This past weekend proved that rankings and records mean nothing in the SEC, with every weekend being a dogfight. Due to inclement weather warnings, A&M started off the weekend with a doubleheader, with the series wrapping up on Friday.
Game 1
The series started with an Aggie 7-5 win that required a comeback victory that was started by a single by Amari Harper while down 4-5 in the top of the seventh inning. An error allowed Mya Perez to take first base, then a double by Koko Wooley to tie the game. Allie Enright followed that up with a double of her own, scoring two for a 7-5 lead late in the game, and Emiley Kennedy retired the 3 of the last 4 batters to win Game 1.
Game 2
This was a much closer contest that went into extra innings. A&M knocked in three runs, taking a 3-0 lead into the bottom of the sixth inning. The Tigers, being the tough team they are, scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth and seventh innings to tie, extending the game. After a scoreless eighth, Harper hit a solo home run that proved to be the game winner after Kennedy shut down the Tigers in the bottom of the ninth to win the series.
Game 3
A&M was never in this game from the beginning, with the Tigers jumping out to an early 4-0 lead. The Aggies squandered a bases-loaded no-out opportunity in the top of the third inning, only coming away with one run, leaving three stranded on base. The very next inning, Missouri tacked on two more runs to go up 6-1, then they finished the Aggies off in the fifth inning with three more runs, run-ruling the Aggies in the final game of the series.
Even though the Aggies suffered an embarrassing loss, leaving 10 runners on base, they still took a tough road series against a team that played just as well against Texas and Oklahoma. However, coach Trisha Ford will have a lot to say to her team after this series. It exposed some areas they need to clean up with a solid midweek opponent and two top-ten conference series left on the schedule.
Texas A&M will face Louisiana in the last midweek game of the season on April 22 at 5:00 p.m. CT at Davis Diamond. The game will be streamed on the SEC Network.

Will Caitlin Clark play Tuesday? Indiana Fever provide injury update

WNBA and Indiana Fever fans are anxiously awaiting the return of superstar Caitlin Clark. Clark has been sidelined with a left quadriceps injury since the Fever's May 24 contest against the New York Liberty. Clark has missed each of Indiana's past four contests as she works her way back from the injury. Advertisement On Monday, Fever head coach Stephanie White provided an update on the injury status of Clark, ruling out the Fever star for Indiana's contest at Atlanta on Tuesday night. "Not for tomorrow," White said of Clark's availability against the Dream. "No. I think for us, we've got to work both her and Sophie back into are they in basketball condition? What does it mean to go live? It's one thing to do some shooting drills. It's another thing to get out there on the floor, get back into movement patterns, rhythm, timing. "And so that's what part of picking and choosing the things that they can be in in practice, so that we can see their progression. Both of them, being out for long periods of time, you've got to work your way back into being game ready." Coach White was asked if Clark had been cleared to return to basketball activities. Advertisement "I don't know if cleared is the right word. We're ready to start ramping back up. It's completely different when you're just doing 1-on-1 workouts and when you're out there in 5-on-5, getting up and down the floor, moving laterally. So, she's been allowed to do some practicing. Not everything. And we're going to be smart and we're going to be cautious and we're going to play the long game and work her back in very intentionally," White said. Clark is is currently averaging 19.0 points, 9.3 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game on 40.3% field goal shooting, 31.4% from 3-point range and 75.0% from the free-throw line. The second-year pro opened the season with the third triple-double of her career and has two more double-doubles, including Clark's 18 points and 10 assists against the reigning WNBA champion Liberty in her final game before injury. The Fever are 2-2 minus Clark and have won both of their past two contests. Indiana is 4-4 on the season. After its date at Atlanta, Indiana hosts the Liberty again on Saturday, June 14.
