Coach Schlossnagle reflects after Texas A&M defeats top seed Tennessee to start CWS finals

“We really played well. Had some really good at-bats against some really good pitchers. Tennessee has got a great, diverse pitching staff.”

Coach Jim Schlossnagle reached the College World Series five times in 17 years at TCU without winning it all but he’s one win away from doing so during his second appearance in three seasons at Texas A&M.

“Great ball game, certainly I thought we really played well for the most part, we got timely hits. Had some really good at-bats against some really good pitchers. Tennessee has got a great, diverse pitching staff,” Schlossnagle said Saturday night. “I thought Prager threw some things, Stewie was awesome, Evan was Evan and Kaeden Kent just continues to play outstanding the back half of the season. It’s one win, we can’t make it anything more than that. Still got a ball game and a series to win, just like the regular season.”

The No. 3 Aggies (53-13) will attempt to win their first national championship in program history on Sunday at 1 p.m. versus No. 1 Tennessee (58-13) on ABC and ESPN+.
