’12th Man played a huge role,’ Jim Schlossnagle reflects on walk-off win vs. No. 2 Arkansas

“Teddy put together a really professional at-bat like an older player. I think the 12th Man played a huge role, there’s no doubt about it.”

It took 11 innings Thursday night at Blue Bell Park but the No. 4 Texas A&M baseball team walked off against No. 2 Arkansas with a 1-0 win in an SEC pitchers’ duel.

“That’s a lot of pitchers that are going to pitch for a long time. (Hagen) Smith, I was trying to remember a lefty I’ve seen that starts with that kind of arm. I can’t remember one in 35 years,” Aggies coach Jim Schlossnagle said postgame. “But Prager was in his own way just as good. We made some nice plays behind him and played really well in the outfield. Jace made a couple big plays, Sorrell made a big one. We have two really good teams and elite pitching, wow!

“(Will) McEntire has been a really huge part of their team and I’m sure we’ll see him again this weekend. He’s very trusted. I thought Teddy put together a really professional at-bat like an older player. It was awesome.
