No. 1 Texas A&M forces decisive Regional Championship game
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (FOX 44) — It took getting out of a bases-loaded seventh inning and extra innings for the Aggies but Texas A&M Softball lives to fight another day, or game, after Kennedy Powell's 2-RBI single helped the Aggies to a thrilling 14-11 win in extra innings on Saturday afternoon. Liberty took a 6-0 lead early after two innings in large part due to a grand slam from Roupe with Emiley Kennedy's afternoon done after just one inning pitched, giving up four earned runs. Sydne Peters pitched just .2 innings, giving up two earned runs before Kate Munnerlyn entered the circle. The Aggies got on the board in the third inning before KK Dement lit a fire under the Aggies with a solo shot to left in the fourth, triggering a six run inning to give A&M the lead back, 7-6. Texas A&M extended the lead to 10-6 with a three-run fifth, leaving it to Munnerlyn to close it out in the circle. However, the task of extinguishing the Flames proved to be difficult no matter who was in the circle as Liberty scored four runs in the final inning to tie the game at 11 before Sydney Lessentine entered to get the Aggies out of the inning with the bases loaded and send it to extras. Powell took advantage of a bases-loaded spot for the Aggies driving in Kramer Eschete and Allie Enright on a base hit in the top of the eighth to give A&M the lead once again. Koko Wooley brought in Midway alum Kelsey Mathis to put the Aggies up three heading into the bottom half. Texas A&M will face Liberty in a winner-take-all Regional Championship on Saturday night with the winner advancing to the NCAA Super Regional Round next week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

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.
