Texas A&M <\/a>snapped a school-record 29-game winning streak for Texas softball <\/a>Sunday with a 9-7 victory at McCombs Field.<\/p>\n

The top-ranked Longhorns (31-2, 8-1 SEC) hadn\u2019t lost since an 8-5 setback to Nebraska<\/a> Feb. 7, but they couldn\u2019t overcome a red-hot Aggie lineup or a mistake-prone defense that committed three errors.<\/p>\n

The No. 16 Aggies (24-11, 6-3)\u00a0pounded out 13 hits while handing Texas ace Teagan Kavan<\/a> her first loss of the season. Kavan gave up 11 hits and eight runs in 5 \u2154 innings, including three runs in the first inning. Texas pulled within 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth inning after a 2-RBI double by shortstop Vivi Martinez<\/a>, but the Aggies took advantage of errors from Martinez and third baseman Jaycie Nichols to score five runs in the top of the sixth.<\/p>\n

Back-to-back solo home runs by catcher Reese Atwood<\/a> and first baseman Katie Stewart gave the Longhorns a glimmer of hope in the seventh inning, but Texas A&M\u2019s Sydney Lessentine<\/a> made her third appearance of the series and worked the final two innings to help the Aggies hold on for the win.<\/p>\n

Texas coach Mike White got ejected in the bottom of the sixth inning for arguing balls and strikes.<\/p>\n

Third baseman Kennedy Powell<\/a> (3-5, 2 runs) and first baseman Micaela Wark (3-4, 2 RBIs) paced Texas A&M, which will host Georgia Thursday-Saturday in a three-game series<\/p>\n

After winning the series<\/a> against Texas A&M 2-1, the Longhorns return to SEC play Thursday with a three-game series at Alabama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas A&M snapped a school-record 29-game winning streak for Texas softball Sunday with a 9-7 victory at McCombs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226254,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,46014,64131,537,28703],"class_list":["post-226253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-college-softball","tag-texas-a-m-aggies-softball","tag-texas-longhorns","tag-texas-longhorns-softball"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
