National power Texas A&M showed Bethune-Cookman a lot of power in Friday's NCAA softball regional, stroking five homers in the first three innings en route to an 11-0 run-rule victory over the Wildcats .before 1,318 at the Aggie Softball Complex.

Megan May hit two homers as the eighth-seeded Aggies, who registered 67 round-trippers during the regular season, sent the Wildcats (30-30) to a 5 p.m EST Saturday elimination game with Texas State, who fell 1-0 to LSU.

May's first shot, a two-run blast in the opening inning, set the tone for the game. The Aggies (40-16) led 3-0 after the first, 6-0 after two and 11-0 entering the fourth.

Tolbert (30-25) struck out the opening batter and got some respect from the Aggie crowd when her change-up worked, but it was a long night for the sophomore.

Texas A&M got a three-hit shutout from Lindsey Sisk.

Karina Romero had a second-inning infield single for the Wildcats. Calesha Shelley reached on an infield single in the third while Shamaria Engram hit a fifth-inning double.
