After taking two of three games during an SEC set in South Carolina over the weekend, the Texas A&M baseball team returns home to Blue Bell Park on Tuesday night to play the University of Texas at San Antonio.
The Aggies (28-4, 8-4 SEC) remained at No. 3 in the country on Monday in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll. Texas A&M had its eight-game winning streak snapped on Sunday in the series finale against the Gamecocks.
Pitching has been the Aggies’ biggest strength thus far. Texas A&M ranks in the top 10 of several national categories with six shutouts (1st), 3.27 ERA (2nd), 3.65 strikeout-to-walk ratio (2nd), 11.9 strikeouts per nine innings (5th), and 1.19 WHIP (7th).
The elite pitching staff is going to get even stronger soon as junior left-handed starter Troy Wansing is “close” to returning from injury according to coach Jim Schlossnagle.
.@CoachSchloss told @TexAgsRadio this morning that @TroyWansing is “close” to being back and is “supposed” to throw during Tuesday’s game vs. UTSA.
