‘No panic button,’ Texas A&M senior catcher Jackson Appel reflects on beating Oregon

“We know that we’ve got guys like Chris that are going to come in and they’re gonna dominate. There was no panic button from the offense.”

The No. 3 Texas A&M baseball team beat Oregon by a final score of 10-6 on Saturday afternoon at Blue Bell Park to begin the Bryan-College Station Super Regional.

“We know that we’ve got guys like Chris that are going to come in and they’re gonna dominate. No worries, like that game could easily stay at six the rest of the game for Oregon,” explained senior catcher Jackson Appel. “There was no panic button from the offense. We’ve done it before. We had like Georgia down 9-0 in the first inning earlier in the year and I think we run-ruled them that game. Just not hitting the panic button, staying good, that’s why we wear these shirts. Just finding a way and never hitting the panic button offensively.”

Appel was 3-for-5 with 2 doubles, 2 runs batted in and 2 runs scored against the Ducks. Game 2 at Olsen Field is on Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN2.
