TAMUT softball falls in conference opener to LSU-Alexandria in game one of the doubleheader

Texarkana, TX (KTAL/KMSS) — On Tuesday, Texas A&M University Texarkana softball opened conference play with a double-header against LSU-Alexandria.

TAMUT was first on the board, Redwater, TX native, Brooke Usrey homered to left field, bringing home Madison Dingman in the process, giving the Eagles momentum.

But LSU-A answered big in the top of the second, tacking on five runs against TAMUT. After a scoreless third inning the Generals bats were hot once again, adding four runs to their lead.

The TAMUT defense came up big in the final three innings to hold the Generals at nine.
