LAREDO, TX - The UT Permian Basin softball program did all of its damage in the top of the first inning but so did Texas A&M International as the two teams combined for 11 of its 15 runs in the opening frame with TAMUI coming out on top, 12-3.
 
Mia Quintero went yard for the second straight contest, driving in all three of the Falcons runs on a three-run blast with two outs in the first.
 
Out of the five total baserunners UTPB had, three of them came in that opening half-inning, as Keri Sanford singled then stole second, Cheyenne Marquez walked, and Quintero unloaded the bags.
 
The other two players to reach safely were an Aubree Breggs single back up the box in the second and a Kelsey Valo base on balls during the third.
 
Abby Cousins had the only two strikeouts from the pitching staff while Riley Johnson got two of the three batters out that she faced.
 
The regular season will conclude this coming weekend, Friday April 28 and Saturday, April 29 when the Falcons recognize its half-dozen seniors including Beggs, Cousins, Destini Trahan, Aryell Aguiar, Melayna Lopez, and Aracely Araiza versus Lubbock Christian.
