Islanders Takes Series With Double-Header Sweep

By Cheval John

Texas A&M-Corpus Christi took the series from Sam Houston State after a 6-0 win in the second game of the double-header yesterday at the Bearkat Softball Complex in Huntsville, Texas.

The Islanders are now 6-8 in the Southland Conference while the Bearkats drops to 2-11 in league play.

The Islanders struck for two runs in the top of the second inning for a 2-0 lead on a two out, two run single by Jessica Mendez.

The theme of the double-header meeting has been the inability of the Bearkat offense to produce any runs.

They were shutout for 14 consecutive innings.

And when they had a chance to score, they squandered it as they left 9 runners on base.

Sam Houston’s best opportunity came in the bottom of the third inning.

Ashley Kopps led off the inning by reaching first on a error.

She advanced to second on a single by Dani Allen.

The bases was loaded after a one out infield single by Peyton Webb.

The Bearkats could not capitalize on their opportunity as Angelica Gonzales struck out and Hilary Adams flied out to end the threat.

“When the offense is not clicking, lot of things aren’t clicking,” Sam Houston softball coach Bob Brock said.

A&M-Corpus Christi added another run in the top of the fifth inning to increase the lead to 3-0 on a RBI ground out by Cosette Hernandez and added three more runs in the top of the 6th inning to increase the lead to 6-0.

Stephanie Flores went the distance and got her second win of the season.

Flores had eight strike outs.

The Bearkats will try and get a win in today’s final game of the series which starts at 3 p.m. central.
