A big aspect of sports or life, in general, is how you bounce back after a tough loss. So, after dropping game one in a close contest everyone was eager to see what game two would shake out. Well, the Aggies left no doubt on Saturday with a 15-run outing run ruling one of the best teams in the country.
Coach Jim Schlossnagle gave his thoughts on the first two games:
“Last night was a tough one to swallow, you know, as we’ve had some bad losses. It’s been an up and down year, but last night was a really tough one because I felt we played really well. So, you know, Troy made a big pitch in the second inning and then kept them down a little bit. Then, obviously, they gave us some free bases and we got the big hits. Hunter’s double, [Jordan Thompson] had a great day… It felt like 1,000 pounds came off everybody’s shoulders when [Austin] Bost finally saw one go out of the ballpark, so maybe that will spark him.”
Game three will start at 1pm on Sunday, May 7th.
