(Statistics temporarily unavailable)

AMARILLO, Texas (Feb. 11) - Coach Brent Shaw's Cameron softball team remained undefeated in the West Texas A&M Invitational on Saturday, despite unfavorable conditions that led to the postponement of several games. The Lady Aggies moved to 3-0 in the event and 3-7 overall with an 8-7 win over Fort Hays State.

Cameron was scheduled to face New Mexico Highlands on Saturday afternoon, but cold temperatures and high winds forced event organizers to halt play on Saturday. The Lady Aggies are now scheduled to play three games on Sunday, beginning with an 11 a.m., meeting with Colorado State-Pueblo. Cameron will take on Adams State College at 1 p.m., before concluding play with the New Mexico Highlands game at 3.

The Lady Aggies jumped out to a big lead on Saturday, getting a two-run triple by Melinda Farrow in the first and a three-run double by Casey Seabolt in the fourth to build a 6-0 lead. Cameron made it 8-2 later in the sixth on a two-run single by Shelby Davis.

Fort Hays State staged a late rally against Cameron starter Bethany Stefinsky, scoring three runs in the bottom of the sixth and two more in the bottom of the seventh. But with the tying run at second base with two outs, Jessica Hutton came on to strike out the only batter she faced to earn her first save of the season and preserve the Lady Aggie win.
