KERRVILLE, TX: The Schreiner University Softball team split their double-header against Texas A&M University-San Antonio with a 12-2 loss in game 1 and a 5-4 win in game 2.
The Mountaineers were at home to open up their regular season as they took on the Jaguars from Texas A&M University-San Antonio in a pair of non-conference games.
GAME 1
Schreiner took an early lead with a solo homerun from senior outfielder, Danielle Pedraza, in the bottom of the first inning. Unfortunately, the game would shift in favor of the Jaguars in the top of the 4th inning as a well hit double sent home two runs for TAMU-SA, followed by a grand slam to put the Jaguars up 6-1. Senior catcher, Hannah Kollmansberger, was able to cut the deficit with a solo homerun of her own in the bottom of the 6th, but the lead would be too much for the Mountaineers to overcome as TAMU-SA went on to win the game 12-2.
