‘Good to see Texas,’ Aggies sophomore OF Jace LaViolette looks ahead to NCAA Regional

“That was a really cool experience right there. I didn’t know who to expect in our regional but it was good to see Texas in there,” he said.

The No. 3 Texas A&M baseball team earned the third overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, which is the highest in program history.

After the seeding was released, sophomore outfielder Jace LaViolette shared his reaction to the Aggies hosting the Bryan-College Station Regional this weekend at Blue Bell Park.

“That was a really cool experience right there. I didn’t know who to expect in our regional but it was good to see Texas in there. It’s going to be a fun regional, especially with the other two teams. It’s going to be hard but it’s going to be a lot of fun,” LaViolette recalled Monday. “It’s speaks to the season that we had. Everything starts over again so it’s awesome, we can kind of let it sink it now but after today it doesn’t really mean anything. We’ve got to keep playing the baseball that we play and that’s about it.

“The 12th Man is real, it’s an unbelievable place to play at. It’s going to be a lot of fun to playing in front of the 12th Man. Especially because this is going to be my first time playing in a regional in front of the 12th Man so I’m really excited and I’m excited for what the 12th Man is going to bring for us.”
