News Release from Texas A&M Athletics:
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The Fightin’ Texas Aggies blasted three home runs to blank North Texas, 12-0, in five innings Wednesday night at Davis Diamond.
Texas A&M (20-2) put the game out of hand in the opening frame stacking eight runs on six hits, including back-to-back round trippers from Jazmine Hill and Trinity Cannon. The Aggies hung 10 on North Texas (9-11) after plating a run in consecutive innings, before Aiyana Coleman added a pinch-hit two-run tater in the fourth inning. The multi-home run game marked the 10th for the Maroon & White, while the shutout victory is the eighth on the season. The 20-2 ledger matches the hottest start for Texas A&M since the 2017 campaign, a year the Aggies reached the Women’s College World Series.
Brooke Vestal earned her first win on the season after 4.0 innings of work and striking out three, while yielding three walks and three hits. Emily Leavitt closed out the final inning striking out one and allowing one hit.
