Aggies win first game at new field
Chronicle Staff Report
Workers put the final touches on the new home of the N.C. A&T softball team recently, and the Lady Aggies welcomed Morgan State into their new field with a 6-1 victory.
In the past, the Lady Aggies have played their home games off campus at Levette Field. Now, they play at the new Lady Aggies Softball Complex. The complex is adjacent to Aggie Stadium. It comes complete with bullpens, wide dugouts and a new scoreboard.
"I think this is a big step forward for our program,'' Lady Aggies softball coach Mamie Jones said. "To have an opportunity to play our games on-campus is a nice feature for my student-athletes, a great addition to the overall scenery of the campus, and it will hopefully help us in our recruiting."
Lady Aggie slugger Brooke Wooten scored the first run on the new field. Lorraine Geiger earned the first hit, Sylvia Felder had the first RBI, and the N.C. A&T softball team got away with the first win ever at its new facility.
Felder finished the afternoon with two hits, a run scored and four RBIs to lead the Lady Aggies to a 6-1 win over Morgan State on Saturday. Latronda Anderson pitched seven strong innings, striking out six and surrendering just one run, to earn her first win of the season. The second game of the doubleheader was postponed because of darkness.
The Lady Aggies broke open the first game in the second inning. Anderson led off with an infield single. Wooten replaced her as a pinch-runner. One out later, Christina Brock walked. Brock's walk set the table for Felder, who blasted a triple in the left-center field gap, scoring Wooten and Brock.
After Adia Dial flied out to second, Geiger plated Felder with a single to right, giving the Lady Aggies a 3-0 lead. Felder picked up RBI number three the following inning on a two-out single beyond the reach of diving Jessica Scott at shortstop to score Chaola Simmons from third. Felder's other RBI came in the fifth. The Lady Aggies went on to collect a 6-1 victory.
The Lady Aggies will host Alabama A&M on March 20 at 1 p.m. The new complex will be dedicated on April 8 at noon before the Aggies take on the Florida A&M Lady Ratters in a doubleheader starting at 2 p.m.
