SPRING, Texas – The Texas A&M softball team went 1-1 Saturday at the Spring Klein College Classic. The Aggies defeated Texas State, 11-5, and dropped its second game against Louisiana Lafayette, 6-0.

Senior Holly Ridley led A&M going 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI.

“We have a lot of talented athletes, but we’re very young and I think it showed today,” said head coach Jo Evans. “In the first game we got off to a slow start and as the game went on we did a much better job of making adjustments at the plate and making plays on defense. I saw some real bright spots.”

Sophomore Rhiannon Kliesing put the Aggies first run of the day across the plate with a double. Fellow sophomore Natalie Villarreal scored on the hit.

Ridley launched a two-run home run in the third inning and with the game tied 5-5 in the fourth frame, the Sugar Land, Texas, native smacked another homer. The three-run shot sparked a five-run inning.

The Aggies added one run in the seventh. Sophomore Kelsey Spittler scored after pinch running for senior Erin Glasco.

Freshman Rebecca Arbino earned her second win of the fall after throwing a complete game in the circle with five strikeouts. A&M tallied nine hits in the contest.

Junior Alex Reynolds and Glasco recorded hits as the Aggies’ suffered a 6-0 loss to Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns. A&M held the Cajuns scoreless until the fifth inning. UL plated four of the six runs on two outs. Glasco went 1-for-3 and Reynolds was 1-for-2 with a walk. Kliesing fanned five from the mound.

A&M finishes the Spring Klein Classic tomorrow with games against Texas-San Antonio at 9 a.m. and Stephen F. Austin at 11 a.m.
