Goodwell, OK—The Aggies traveled to Alva, Oklahoma, on Tuesday afternoon for a rescheduled mid-week matchup against the Northwestern Oklahoma State University Rangers. Originally slated as a home game for the Aggies, Monday's inclement weather prompted a venue change to the Rangers. The Aggies were defeated, concluding the game with a 2-5 loss.
Game Highlights:
In the third inning, the Aggies led good momentum when David Garcia singled to left field, driving in an RBI and advancing Jeremy Dibartolomeo to second while Jose Arrieta crossed the plate, putting the Aggies on the scoreboard.
Ryota Kusumoto launched a homer to right field, tallying another RBI for the Aggies. Despite these efforts, the gap created by the Rangers in the early innings proved too wide for the Aggies to close.

Leandra Tamaki took the mound for the Aggies, pitching 2.0 innings with 5 hits and 5 runs, all earned, alongside two walks and a single strikeout.
Zach Mayhew provided relief, pitching an impressive 3.2 innings, allowing just one hit and no runs, alongside two walks and two strikeouts, from the bullpen.
Assistant Jared Mayeda noted"Every day you lace up the cleats with the goal to win. Somedays you play well and get beat.That's what happened today and that's life. Lots more baseball to play."

The Aggies focus on the upcoming homestand on April 5th and 6th as they take on Texas Wesleyan University.
