Lucky number 13 was the magic run total for this series. Texas A&M is still in search of quality starting pitching to sustain the competitiveness Coach Shloss is looking for. Scoring five to eight runs a game should be enough to give your team a chance but when you are consistently giving up free bases and two-out two-strike hits it’s going to end badly most of the time. The Aggies did win the series but dropped game three 13-5 on Saturday.
Coach Scholssnagle spoke on this pitching after the game.
“You’ve got to give credit to Missouri, but we’re giving them free passes. We’re walking 7.5 guys a game, scoring 8 runs a game, and fielding .982… We don’t even give ourselves a chance.”
Texas A&M will get a little bit of a break before they have to take on the Prairie View A&M Panthers on April 19th
