The 21st ranked Aggie baseball team traveled to Nashville this weekend for an important three game South Eastern Conference tilt with #22 Vanderbilt.
Nathan Dettmer took the bump for the Aggies on Thursday in his typical game 1 slot, and he continued his dominant streak, tossing 7 innings, of 1 run ball, allowing only 2 hits and striking out 6. Jacob Palisch gave up 3 hits but held the Commadores scoreless in his 2 innings of relief. Offensively Kole Kaler had a first inning solo home run, and the Ags small balled their way to 4 more runs, totaling 7 hits and drawing 7 walks, on their way to a 5-1 series opening win.
In game 2, the Commadores offense went off, scoring 7 runs in the first 4 innings, and didn’t get slow down, as they ran away with an 11-1 win to tie the series.
The Aggies answered with an offensive explosion of their own on Saturday, led by Ryan Targac’s 2 homeruns and 6 total RBI, while Moo Menefee pulled a clutch relief performance, tossing 5.1 innings of 2 hit, 1 run ball, on the way to a 12-4 A&M victory in the rubber match.
