The Oklahoma Panhandle State softball team (5-31, 3-19) was tantalizingly close to snapping its lengthy losing streak on Thursday, but a five-run sixth inning by Texas Wesleyan (18-17, 12-10 SAC) in the nightcap crushed the Aggies' hopes as they fell 8-0 and 6-5 in the doubleheader.

Why it matters

The Aggies have struggled mightily this season, with a 5-31 overall record and just 3 conference wins. Ending the losing streak would have provided a much-needed morale boost for the team and its fans. Texas Wesleyan, on the other hand, is having a solid season and is in the hunt for a conference tournament berth.

The details

In the first game, Texas Wesleyan cruised to an 8-0 victory. In the second game, the Aggies rallied late and were within one run, but the Rams' big sixth inning proved to be the difference.
