Aggies baseball falls to Lamar in first loss of 2023

Aggies baseball falls to Lamar 7-4 in first loss of 2023

Jim Schlossnagle and the Texas A&M baseball team hosted the Lamar Cardinals at Blue Bell Park in College Station on Tuesday night, and for the first time in 2023, the Aggies came out on the wrong side of the score board.

The Aggies took an early lead on a third inning solo home run by centerfielder Jordan Thompson, and took a 4-2 lead into the seventh, when a familiar foe of the Aggies reared it’s ugly head again, as senior relief pitcher, Matt Dilliard walked the leadoff batter. He rebounded with a strike out on the next batter, but a single and a fielders choice pushed a run across to bring the score to 4-3.

The next batter, Cardinals catcher Ryan Snell, broke the game open with a three run home run to give Lamar a 6-4 lead. They would add an insurance run in the 8th, and the Cardinals would take the 7-4 win.

The Aggies will take on Portland in a three game series this weekend at Blue Bell Park.

Aggies run rule Seattle, and notch first sweep of the season

Jim Schlossnagle and his Texas A&M baseball team is off to a hot start for 2023.

The brooms came out at Blue Bell Park in College Station on Sunday, as the Aggies took on the Seattle University RedHawks for the final game in their season opening three game series. And it didn’t take long for coach Schlossnagle’s crew to jump out to a big lead.

In the bottom of the 2nd, the Aggies took advantage of 6 walks, adding t3 singles and an RBI fielders choice to take a very early 6-0 lead.

The teams added two runs each from the 2nd through the 7th innings, before the Aggies bats exploded in the bottom of the 8th, when Trevor Werner and Ryan Targac hit back-to-back homeruns, and Kaeden Kent hit a 3 run triple to push the score to 14-2, and ending the game.

The Aggies got 5 innings of 2 run ball from starter Chris Cortez on the mound in his first start of the year, and the season is off to a great start.

The Aggies will host Lamar on Tuesday the 21st, at 5:00 pm at Blue Bell Park.
