Texas A&M softball's super regional aspirations came to a disappointing end in the Bryan-College Station Regional Finals from Arizona State's walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the fifth inning.
The Sun Devils wasted no time making a statement against the Aggies at Davis Diamond on Sunday afternoon, as they snatched an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first. Texas A&M responded with a base hit from Paislie Allen, who cut the lead to a run entering Arizona State's half of the second inning. Trisha Ford's former team opened the floodgates with a three-spot to claim a 5-1 lead.
A back-and-forth pitcher's duel between the Aggies and Sun Devils across the next three innings came to a screeching halt when the visitors from Tempe, Arizona, loaded the bases after an error and back-to-back walks. Brooklyn Ulrich called game with a walk-off grand slam to send Arizona State to its 11th appearance in the super regionals.
Meanwhile, the Aggies' season ends in the Bryan-College Station Regional Final for the second time in the last three seasons under Ford. Texas A&M posted a 38-19 overall record and 16-8 mark in SEC play, but made quick exits in the postseason, with losses to Auburn in the conference tournament and Sunday's elimination at the hands of the Sun Devils.
What's next for the softball program? Well, the offseason must feature an improvement in the pitching rotation. Texas A&M finished the season ranked 12th in the SEC in team ERA, while allowing 62 home runs, which was the highest mark allowed by any team in the conference in 2026.
