SAN MARCOS – Late walks and an error doomed No. 14 Texas A&M in a walk-off loss to No. 19 Texas State, 4-3, Wednesday night at Bobcat Softball Stadium.

Texas A&M (25-4) led by one run heading to the final inning before giving up a leadoff single and issuing the Bobcats three straight one-out walks. The game ended on an error on an attempted inning-ending double play as Texas State (23-7) handed the Aggies their second consecutive one-run loss.

Tied at one after five innings, Texas A&M capitalized on a golden opportunity with bases loaded and no outs as Allie Enright drove in a pair of runs, narrowly missing a grand slam with a line drive off the top of the right field fence. Texas State cut the deficit in half with a sac fly as the Aggies led 3-2 after six innings.

Shaylee Ackerman kept the Bobcats at bay pitching 6.0 innings and striking out two, while yielding four hits, three walks and two runs. Emiley Kennedy suffered her third loss of the season after entering in the final frame.
