COLLEGE STATION - The No. 5 Texas A&M Softball team defeated Mississippi State, 3-1, Sunday in the rubber match of the SEC opening series.
Texas A&M (21-2, 2-1 SEC) relied on the clutch bat of Sarah Hudek to deliver the game decisive blow. With two outs, one on and a full count in the third, Hudek belted a two-run shot to left center that provided the cushion the Aggies needed to take the series finale. The dinger was Hudek's second of the season.
In the circle, Lexi Smith stayed perfect on the season improving to 7-0 as the junior earned the complete-game victory.
