Houston softball opened its 16-game road stretch falling 9-1 to Texas A&M in College Station on Wednesday night.
The Aggies got to UH starting pitcher Mattie Boyd early, scoring four runs in the first inning thanks to a steal of home and a three-run home run. Boyd, who was charged with all four runs, recorded just two outs before getting pulled.
Texas A&M tacked on three more runs in the third to increase its lead to 7-0.
UH scored its lone run in the fifth with a double into right-center by senior right fielder Katy Repa.
The Aggies responded in the bottom half of the inning and then ended the game in the sixth via run rule on a walk-off home run.
