Following a four-hour rain delay in Omaha, Nebraska, that pushed the College World Series opening round into the early hours of Father’s Day, the Texas A&M baseball team held on for a 3-2 win against SEC rival Florida.
The No. 3 Aggies (50-13) beat the Gators (34-29) by tallying two runs in the bottom of the second inning and one in the third. Texas A&M plays another SEC foe, No. 2 Kentucky (46-14), at Charles Schwab Field on Monday at 6 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN+.
Sophomore left-handed pitcher Justin Lampkin, junior right-hander Chris Cortez and senior lefty Evan Aschenbeck pitched 3 innings each in that order on Saturday evening. Cortez relieved Lampkin to earn his 10th win on the year before the Stopper of the Year shut it down like he usually does.
Check out some of the best pictures from Saturday night that were taken by USA TODAY Sports photographers Steve Branscombe and Dylan Widger.
