LAREDO, TX – The UT Permian Basin softball program split a twin-bill with the Dustdevils as the Falcons took game one 4-1 and dropped game two 3-2 in a pair of pitchers' duels.
 
Mia Quintero was feeling a bit "extra" on the day as all three of her hits went for multiple bases, clubbing two doubles and home run number five on the year and her 12th at UTPB while scoring twice.
 
Destini Trahan shut down and nearly shut out Texas A&M International in the opener, going the distance by allowing only one run and eight baserunners (six hits, two walks) while fanning three batters.
 
Abby Cousins posted the exact same stat line as Trahan minus two innings worked and one strikeout but left the ballgame after five to a 1-0 deficit.
 
Kelsey Valo was the lone player to notch multiple RBIs, bringing home one in each tilt and Keri Sanford led the visitors with a trio of singles plus a stolen base.
 
Emily Andress went 2-of-3 with a walk, a score, and a swipe of second in the nightcap plus Aracely Araiza doubled before promptly scoring to cap the notables.
 
The Black and Orange will face Texas A&M-International one more time on Saturday at noon as it seeks their second winning series in Lone Star play this season and its first since taking 2-of-3 at Midwestern State in mid-March.
