Noles Fall to No. 6 Texas A&M on Saturday

TALLAHASSEE - The No. 8 Florida State softball team (11-3) fell to No. 6 Texas A&M (14-1) on Saturday afternoon in the JoAnne Graf Classic. FSU fell 6-3 in eight innings in game one and 10-4 in game two.

Game 1
The Noles got off to a great start in front of a packed crowd at JoAnne Graf Field as Annabelle Widra got the start in the circle and kept the Aggies scoreless in the top of the first.

Jaysoni Beachum walked in the bottom of the first to give the Noles their first baserunner of the day, and Kennedy Harp singled to put Beachum in scoring position. Michaela Edenfield hit a slow ground ball that found its way through the 3-4 hole to bring Beachum home. Hallie Wacaser then continued her solid week with a single that scored both Harp and Edenfield to give the Noles a 3-0 lead after the first inning.

The Noles had another great chance in the bottom of the second as they loaded the bases with one out but were unable to bring any runs home.

Widra continued to stifle the Aggies, but they finally got on the board with a solo home run in the top of the fourth to cut the lead to two. The Aggies added two more runs in the top of the fifth to tie the game at three.

The Aggies threatened again in the top of the seventh and loaded the bases with two outs, but Jazzy Francik came in and got the final out to keep the score tied.

The Aggies broke through in the top of the eighth by scoring three unearned runs with two outs to take a 6-3 lead. FSU was unable to rally in the bottom half of the inning and eventually, fell to the Aggies.

Game 2
After a scoreless first inning from both teams, Texas A&M used a six-run second inning to pull away from the Noles. The Aggies added one more run in the third and three in the fifth inning to go up 10-0.

FSU did put up four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to extend the game thanks to RBI singles from Beachum and Harp. Wacaser and Madi Frey each picked up RBIs on groundouts, but the rally stopped there as the Noles were unable to get anything going in the final two innings.

FSU will be back in action next week for the Dugout Club Classic where they will host Florida Gulf Coast, College of Charleston and Mercer for five games in three days.
