The Mustangs lost all games against Cameron University in a three-game series at Mustangs Park last weekend.

The softball team, coached by Brittanie Talley, lost the double header on Friday, Feb. 23, 3-0 and 5-4, in extra innings,  then fell seven points short on Sunday, Feb. 25, losing 15-8 to the Aggies.

In the opening game of the double header on Friday, the Mustangs recorded three hits by psychology senior Camile Nunez, finance sophomore Maegan Shannon, and exercise physiology senior Grace Martinez. However, the Mustangs were unable to convert on any of those hits. The Aggies scored two home runs, one in the first and one in the fourth inning. The third run came in the sixth, when the Aggies scored an unearned run on a groundout to third sealing the win.

In the second game of the day, the Mustangs tied the game 4-4 in the fifth inning after being down by three. Nunez and marketing junior Briana Dominguez scored the first two runs for the Maroon and Gold, followed by nursing senior Kennedy Cameron and freshman Paige Gallegos, forcing the game into an extra inning. In the end, the Aggies clinched the winning run in the bottom of the ninth to conclude the game.

The final game of the series on Sunday started with the Aggies leading by six points by the end of the first inning, only for the Mustangs to rally in the second inning after Gallegos hit a three-run homer, clearing the bases and tying the game 6-6. 

In the fourth inning, the Aggies powered through two solo homers, reclaiming the lead 8-6. But the Mustangs once again managed another comeback, tying the Aggies 8-8 in the sixth inning after Dominguez and Gallegos secured runs for the Mustangs.

The final inning had the Mustangs quickly losing ground as the Aggies scored a two-run homer followed by another five runs, putting the Aggies in the lead by seven points, concluding the game with a score of 15-8.

The Mustangs faced West Texas A&M in a three-game series Feb.27-28, going 0-3 in the series. The team faced UT Permian Basin March 2-3, going 2-3 in the series.

Midwestern currently has only two conference wins after 13 and their overall record sitting at 4-20 for the season. The Mustangs look to change that this weekend as they take on UT Tyler in a three game series.
