That was another great game. Looking forward to 1pm & watching the Gators play Bama tonight

Florida's 2 freshmen pitchers are legit. Would have loved to see Ava Brown stay at home but that was too far down the road when Ford arrived

Hoping Ava Brown comes home after a year in Florida.

Sweep

Nicely done ladies.

Great work ladies!!!!

Nice work by the pitching staff this whole series. South Carolina isn't an offensive powerhouse by any stretch but watching all three games you just got the feeling that the Aggies were in control the entire time other than the 2nd inning yesterday. Defense was excellent, Powell has really settled into the hot corner nicely.

Offense was… not great. This was partly due to Carolina's pitching staff, which is very, very good. That was easily the best staff we've faced all season. On the positive side, we didn't really strike out much, we worked the counts pretty well and got walks when we couldn't hit.

I can't stand this South Carolina squad, they like to talk a ton of crap. Today their third base coach got into it with some of our fans, including dropping an F bomb that I could hear all the way where I was sitting. It was a prolonged ordeal and Heffley had to come out of our dugout to try and diffuse the situation when the officials just stood there watching it with their thumbs up their butts. Was nice to send them home as losers.

Vestal was spectacular this weekend. I thought she would be an important piece to the puzzle this year. If we can get that from her this pitching staff will be tough to score on. Happy to see Shay throwing in the pen today. Hopefully she is available next weekend.

Still not sure about Harper. She was in uniform but stayed in the bullpen not the dugout this weekend. Her bat has been good. Will need her to back to form soon. Fortunately defensively we options this year

Just all sorts of props to the ladies and Coach Ford. She's building something special here

With the sweep, the Aggies have moved up to 13th in the RPI. This is a good place to be now because it puts us in position to host a regional. We have a ton of games against teams with top 30 RPI left on the schedule so there's even more room to move into the national seed conversation. Hosting a regional would be my (not unreasonable) expectation for this program in year 2. Going forward as a program into next year and beyond we should always be in that national seed conversation and hosting regionals should be fairly routine.

Today begins our first conference road series at Mississippi State in Starkville. If I'm not mistaken this will be the first true road test of the season, unless you count playing Fullerton in their home stadium in that tournament.

This is probably the closest matchup we have had so far, stat-wise. They're just a bit better than us at the plate, and we're a bit better in the circle. MSU doesn't have the same power in their lineup that A&M does, with less HR and doubles as a team, but everything I see says this should be a close series. This series is the "easiest" road series Texas A&M will have and it will really go a long way for the Aggies' hosting efforts to come away with a series win. The goal should be for A&M to go 2-2 in the 4 road conference series. I think it's going to be difficult but doable.
