See the full story · 1 sourcesThe 2nd Annual Texas A&M Football Celebrity Softball Game wrapped up at Davis Diamond with plenty of memorable moments for fans and players, turning a night of friendly competition into one of the summer’s most entertaining events.
As with most All‑Star or celebrity showcases, the Home Run Derby stole the spotlight early. Last year, Aggie softball star Mya Perez claimed the crown over edge rusher Marco Jones . With Perez not in attendance this time, Jones entered as the clear favorite and he delivered.
He launched a thunderous 61 home runs across three rounds, ultimately defeating tight end Kiotti Armstrong to reclaim the title. His performance had fans joking that baseball coach Michael Earley might need to recruit him as a designated hitter.
Once the derby wrapped, the Maroon & White game took center stage, giving every participant a chance to show off their softball skills or laugh off their lack thereof. The night also featured the return of Aggie ace Emiley Kennedy, who stepped in as the guest pitcher and wasted no time mowing down hitters.
The game was competitive, chaotic, and full of personality, exactly what the event is designed to be. When the dust settled, the Maroon team came away with a 15–12 victory, capping off a day that blended fun, fan engagement, and cross‑sport camaraderie.
Here are some of the best moments from the event.
