Texas State softball<\/a> will fight to extend its NCAA Tournament stay Saturday, facing Florida A&M in the Gainesville Regional. The loser’s season will come to a close, while the winner faces Georgia Tech at 2 p.m. for a chance to play Sunday against Florida.<\/p>\n

The Bobcats fell Friday to the Yellowjackets 2-1,<\/a> a pitching duel marred by costly mistakes. Texas State recorded three hits through seven innings, unable to support pitcher Madison Azua’s two-hit, one-earned-run, complete game performance. The bats will need to find some momentum ahead of a potential rematch with Georgia Tech.<\/p>\n

Florida run-ruled FAMU 12-0 to open the regional. The Rattlers are ranked 166th in RPI, but should not be underestimated. They took Marshall to the brink in February, losing 3-2, and are led by Southwestern Conference Player of the Year Amari Brown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Texas State needs to win four games in a row to qualify for the Super Regionals. Here are live updates from Texas State’s matchup with FAMU.<\/p>\n

Infielder Amari Brown pops out to second base. Texas State pitcher Emma Strood gets Keeleigh Spooner and Jordan Douglas to pop out as well for a quick inning of work.<\/p>\n

Karmyn Bass leads off with a single into right field. Infielder Kate Bubela lays down a bunt single, putting runners on first and second. Catcher Megan Kelnar drops a sacrifice bunt to advance the runners. Infielder Sami Hood records a sacrifice fly to give Texas State a 1-0 lead. Outfielder Sydney Harvey grounds out to first.<\/p>\n

Outfielder Neriah Lee draws a walk. Infielder Amya Ramos flies out. Jamison Townsend lines out to first, and Coleman tags Lee off the bag for a double-play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Texas State infielder Keely Williams leads off with a groundout. Harley Vestal grounds out as well. Infielder Aiyana Coleman draws a four-pitch walk, and fellow infielder Katarina Zarate lines out to center.<\/p>\n
