Scouting Texas
The Longhorns enter the weekend with a 31-16 record overall and 6-9 in the Big 12 after sweeping Texas Tech on Thursday ... first baseman Jacqueln Williams drove in six runs in the second game of the doubleheader ... leadoff hitter Shannon Thomas is tops on the team with a .331 batting average and 30 stolen bases ... Tallie Thrasher bats .317 and has a team-high 12 homers ... Thrasher and Kacie Gaskin are tied for the team lead with 30 RBI ... Meagan Denny (19-13, 1.61 ERA) and Erin Tresselt (10-2, 1.18 ERA) lead the Longhorns in the pitching circle ... Denny has an impressive 298 strikeouts on the season and opponents hit just .194 against the junior hurler.
All-Time Series
Iowa State has defeated Texas just once in 23 tries ... the lone Cyclone win came in 2005 in Austin ... current Cyclone Alyssa Ransom tossed a complete game two-hitter to get the win.
Looking Back
Iowa State dropped a pair of games to Missouri, which is ranked No. 21 in the latest ESPN.com/USA Softball polls, on Wednesday afternoon in Columbia ... the Cyclones fell 1-0 in the first game despite a strong performance from senior pitcher Alyssa Ransom ... Ransom fanned six while allowing just one first inning run ... Courtney Wray collected a pair of hits and Alex Johnson hit her 12th double of the season in the game one loss ... Missouri jumped on the Cyclones for three first inning runs en route to the 5-0 win ... Charissa Carlin was able to settle in after allowing two more runs in the third ... Carlin allowed just one hit over the final three innings but the Cyclones were unable to give the freshman any run support.
Next Up
The Cyclones take a week off before playing host to Kansas in their final home series of the season on Saturday and Sunday, May 5-6 ... Sunday marks senior day as ISU will honor its seven seniors.
Cyclone Tidbits
Alex Johnson recorded the 12th double of her freshman campaign against Missouri, equaling the freshman record held by Kris McMaster (1991) ... Alyssa Ransom is 17 strikeouts shy of equaling the career record held by Courtney Dully, who had 495 in her career ... Courtney Wray is 6-for-10 in the last three games ... Ashley Killeen set the single-season record with her 10th hit by pitch ... Killeen holds the career record with 28 ... Alex Johnson has 57 hits this season, just two shy of the second best single-season total in school history ... the Cyclones' 345 hits is the most since the team had 373 in 1999.
