Texas A&M stays alive in the Regional Round after thrilling 14-11 win over Liberty
Texas A&M stays alive in the Regional Round after thrilling 14-11 win over Liberty Texas A&M (48-10) is still alive in the College Station Regional after defeating Liberty (49-13) in the first elimination game of the final round, as late offense pushed the Aggies forward in one of the craziest games of the weekend. After trailing 6-0 heading into the third inning, Texas A&M's bats helped mount an incredible comeback. On the mound, ace Emiley Kennedy surprisingly struggled after allowing four hits, replaced by Sidne Peters, who quickly allowed two runs, leading to Kate Munnerlyn allowing just one run in four innings, before disaster hit. To preface, Texas A&M regained the lead thanks to Mac Barbara, KK Dement, Koko Wooley, and Kennedy Powell producing four runs. In contrast, Maya Perez's two-run home run, combined with Barbara's solo shot, helped regain a 7-6 lead. Adding three more runs in the fifth, Liberty added a run in the sixth, and if it weren't for Maya Perez's RBI single in the seventh, Texas A&M would have been eliminated from the tournament. In the bottom of the seventh, with Munnerlyn still on the mound, the Aggies allowed Liberty to mount a four-run comeback after tying the game with two outs on the board after a walk-in run with bases loaded. While head coach Trisha Ford deserves criticism for leaving Munnerlyn in, she opted to bring in Sydney Lessentine, who helped the Aggies after a pop-up ended the inning. Like they've done all season, the Aggies fought back in the eighth, as Kennedy Powell's single led to two runs while Koko Wooley's groundout scored Kelsey Mathis to help take a 14-11 lead. Thanks to Lessentine's pitching, Texas A&M ended the game at the bottom of the eighth with three quick outs, leading to Sunday night's regional final to move on to the Super Regional Round. Texas A&M and Liberty will face off at 7:10 p.m. CT. The game will air on ESPN2.

Where did Texas A&M softball land in the rankings after the SEC Tournament?
Where did Texas A&M softball land in the rankings after the SEC Tournament? The Texas A&M softball team is hitting its stride at the right time and earned the No. 1 Seed in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history. Before the start of the tournament, the Aggies are predicted to make the Women's College World Series for the first time in nearly a decade. The team has built its reputation as a jack of all trades by being able to win a game in several different ways. An area of improvement that Coach Ford would like to see is for the pitching staff to make another step forward as they work around the injury of Sidne Peters. All major softball polls have the Aggies as the overall No. 1-ranked team after run-ruling both SEC Tournament opponents, South Carolina and Texas, outscoring them by a combined 26-6. Texas A&M will be back on the diamond in the College Station Regional starting on Friday, May 16, against Saint Francis at Davis Diamond at 2:30 p.m. CT.
