Aggies Lose Series Finale Against Georgia, 8-0 - Texas A&M Athletics


BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – No. 21 Texas A&M Aggies dropped its third-straight in the series finale against the No. 17 Georgia Bulldogs, 8-0, Sunday afternoon at Davis Diamond.
 
Georgia (24-6, 5-1 SEC) took an early lead with a three-run home run in the second, as the Aggies (16-10, 2-4 SEC) were held hitless through the first three frames. Junior Julia Cottrill found the hit column lining a single to left field in the fourth inning, before a miscue on the basepath led to an inning-ending double play after a Morgan Smith flyout. 
 
The Bulldogs put themselves in run-rule territory after scoring a run in the fifth inning and adding four more in the sixth, before the Aggies went down in order in the bottom of the inning.

Head coach Trisha Ford 
On the weekend’s struggles… 
“It was not a fun weekend for us. We were excited to open conference play at Davis Diamond. I thought the 12th Man was fantastic all weekend, I just wish we would’ve put together some better outings. There was some good and a bad, but it is just one weekend and that was my message to our team. We have to learn from this, get better and it’s game on moving forward.”
