Texas A&M sophomore left-handed pitcher Ryan Prager had a strong performance Saturday night at Blue Bell Park during a 4-2 win in 11 innings against Texas in the Bryan-College Station Regional of the NCAA Tournament.
“I thought the atmosphere of the crowd was outstanding! That’s the best college baseball atmosphere, one, I’ve been in in-person and two, I’ve seen even looking at videos from the past, what other places have done. That was the best I’ve ever seen,” Prager proclaimed. “I think the rivalry is what it is, that’s more so for the fans and for the university.
“For us, we’re just playing baseball. Yes, the opponent is who it is, but for us, it’s the same game that we played against Grambling, it’s the same against Texas. It was great for the fans to get to experience the rivalry in this setting but for us we’re just playing the game.
“We’re going to come back tomorrow and play the game against somebody.”
Prager was given a no decision after tossing 6.1 frames and allowing 4 hits, 4 walks and 2 runs with 7 strikeouts on 87 pitches.
