Texas State softball vs. Texas A&M

Don't look now, but college softball is gearing up. Texas State (5-4) is already nine games into its 2009 season.

Tonight, the Bobcats host Texas A&M in their home opener. Texas State also opens the newly renovated Bobcat Field tonight and is expecting a sizable crowd.

The Bobcats have only won nine game in 62 tries against the Aggies (5-5). Texas A&M comes into the game ranked 19th in the nation and went 1-4 in a recent tournament. The Aggies were ranked fifth, but dropped to 19th from their losses.

Texas State has taken down several giants this season (Texas and Houston) and are 2-1 against the Big XII this season. The Bobcats' offense will need to step up as they are only averaging 3.7 runs per game.

Chandler Hall will most likely get the start for Texas State.
