LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks found the going quite difficult Saturday on the second day of the Troy Cox Classic hosted by New Mexico State.
SFA (2-7) started the day with a 9-0 loss in five innings to No. 22 Nebraska (6-3) followed by a 12-0 loss in five innings to New Mexico State (7-1).
In both games the Ladyjacks compiled just one hit each while allowing 14 combined earned runs on 23 hits and 11 walks.
Against Nebraska SFA starting pitcher Carlie Thomas (1-4) took the loss allowing eight runs, but of which only two were earned, on 11 hits and four walks. Angela White pitched one inning of relief allowing just one earned run.
Left fielder Bethany Brown was responsible for the lone hit for the Ladyjacks, which also marked SFA's only base runner. Tat Edwards earned the victory for Nebraska, going five innings and striking out five.
In game two, New Mexico State pounded out 11 hits and scored four runs in each of the first and third inning. White (1-3) started and took the loss allowing five runs (three earned) in an inning and a third. Thomas would enter in the second inning but the Aggies continued to wreak havoc, scoring seven more runs on nine hits in 2.2 innings from the sophomore.
The Ladyjacks will look to get back in the win column tomorrow against Weber State at noon.
