CONROE, Texas – A pair of slow offensive starts doom the No. 15 Aggie softball team as they drop a pair on day two of the Arkansas Tech Winter Classic, falling 4-3 to Harding and 5-2 to No. 7 Central Oklahoma
 
After dropping both games yesterday to open the ATU Classic, the Aggies would look to get back on track on Saturday afternoon at the Scrapyard Complex. The road would not get any easier though, as they would be tasked with taking on a scrappy Harding team and the seventh ranked UCO squad.
 
G3 – Harding 4, Cameron 3
During the top of the first inning, Brenna Busby made history with her 63rd career steal, which makes her the all-time leader for stolen bases in program history. Despite Busby getting all the way to third, the CU failed to drive her home, which continued a trend set throughout the season's first four contests.  
 
After Harding knocked in two runs in the second, and another in the fourth, the Black and Gold had to wake their bats up in a hurry.
 
A three-run fifth inning was exactly what the Aggies needed. A Khmari Edwards RBI triple to score B. Busby got CU on the board first and then a Callie Busby walk set the stage for Madyson Marvulli, who slapped a double off the right center field wall to score C. Busby and Edwards and bring the Aggies within a run.
 
After CU left Marvulli stranded, they did not see another runner get into scoring position the rest of the contest, eventually falling 4-3 to the Lady Bison.
 
G4 – Central Oklahoma 5, Cameron 2
In game two of the day Cameron faced their second ranked opponent in as many days.
 
The Bronchos jumped out to an early 5-0 lead and held strong until the bottom of the sixth. That is when C. Busby broke up the UCO shutout effort with an RBI single to drive in her sister.
 
With their backs against the wall in the bottom of the seventh, the Aggies scored their second run of the game, this time via a Maci McMurtrey single to score her fellow freshman Mikayla Oaks. With runners on the corners and two-out in the frame, B. Busby flew out to center to end the Cameron's comeback bid and the game.
 
On deck
Now 0-4 on the season, Cameron will have one more chance to escape their first weekend of the season with a win as they face off against Pittsburg State on Sunday at 12:30 p.m.
