Earlier Friday at Davis Diamond, Aggie softball defeated the UConn Huskies 17-3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Many fans traveled into town for the tournaments. Greg York and his family said they traveled in from Conroe and have been Aggie fans for five years. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWe kind of make it a priority to come to every baseball game that we can \u2013 we have season tickets, and we love it,\u201d York said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great, lowkey family-friendly atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Paul Briggs said he has been supporting the Aggies for about six years and loves the atmosphere on game day. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThat\u2019s my second family \u2013 they\u2019re my friends and they will back me up and I love coming here and enjoying the sports and the camaraderie of what\u2019s around here \u2013 the food, the beverages, and sports,\u201d Briggs remarked. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Despite an upsetting baseball loss on Thursday, Aggies fan Richard Williams said he is feeling hopeful for a comeback. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cSoftball started off a little bit better than baseball, but baseball\u2019s a funny game. You can lose bad like last night and turn around and we could win big today, and that\u2019s why we\u2019re here,\u201d Williams commented. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">On Saturday, Aggie softball will face Arizona State at Davis Diamond at 2 p.m. And Aggie baseball will play its third game against Mississippi State on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Blue Bell Park.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 KBTX.
