No. 6 Texas A&M gets ready for their final tune up series against Rhode Island

Texas A&M will look to remain perfect on the year when the host Rhode Island for a three-game series at Blue Bell field starting Friday

No. 6 Texas A&M (13-0) will put their spotless record on the line again when they host a three-game series against Rhode Island (2-7) starting at 6 p.m. on Friday.

The Aggies had a little bit of trouble putting away a four-win Texas Southern Tigers team on Wednesday night, by not hitting the ball well and some questionable baserunning. So, with the Rams coming to town, they will have a chance to clean up some issues they ran into a few days earlier.

Rhode Island has struggled to score and has given up double-digit runs routinely. This might be the game for some of the Aggies who have been struggling at the plate to start finding their bats again. Below are the game times and pitchers for each day

friday:

Game time – 6 p.m.

Pitcher – Sophomore LHP Ryan Prager (3-0)

saturday:

Game time – 2 p.m.

Pitcher – Junior RHP Tanner Jones (1-0)

sunday:

Game time – 1 p.m.

Pitcher – Junior LHP Justin Lamkin

A&M will play this series and another mid-week game against Sam Houston before starting SEC play in Gainsville where they will take on the Florida Gators.

No. 6 Texas A&M baseball team mounts late comeback to remain unbeaten and avoid upset

The Aggies were tested on Wednesday night at Blue Bell Park but the undefeated streak lives to fight another day thanks to two 3-run homers.

The Texas A&M baseball team was tested on Wednesday evening at Blue Bell Park but the undefeated streak lives to fight another day following a comeback win.

The No. 6 Aggies (13-0) hit two 3-run home runs in their final two innings to claw back and defeat Texas Southern by a final score of 7-4 at Olsen Field. Texas A&M is unbeaten through 13 games for the first time since 2015 and seventh time in program history.

The Aggies are 17-0 all-time against their in-state rival. Twenty-four runs allowed by the Texas A&M pitching staff thus far is the fewest since 2011.

After the Aggies trailed by two runs during the seventh inning stretch, graduate student designated hitter Hayden Schott got the party started in the bottom half of the frame with a 3-run blast to center field. Junior right fielder Braden Montgomery followed that up with his own multi-run homer to left.

Montgomery has smashed a home run in three consecutive contests and four of his last five. The former Stanford Cardinal has reached base safely in 41 straight games.

Junior right-handed pitcher Josh Stewart (1-0) earned the victory after pitching 1.1 scoreless innings of relief, allowing 2 hits and 1 hit by pitch with a season-high 4 strikeouts. In his first career start, freshman RHP Isaac Morton tossed a game-high 7 Ks over 2.1 scoreless frames.

Texas A&M continues its five-game homestand with a three-game series against Rhode Island this weekend. Friday’s matchup is scheduled to start at 6 p.m.

Texas A&M demolishes Texas in front of a record crowd in Austin to move to 12-0 on the year

The Aggies best their little brother to the tune of 9-2 in front of 8,000 plus fans in Austin on Tuesday night

Texas A&M (12-0) got hot late and scored six runs in the final three innings to win 9-2 over Texas (9-5).

The Aggies flexed their dominance in Austin in front of a crowd of 8.060 fans at Disch-Falk Field. Braden Montgomery got the Aggies on the board first with a home run over the right-center field just two pitches after Jace LaViolette was hit by a ball, giving the Maroon & White a quick 2-0 lead. The Maroon & White would hold that two-run lead until the bottom of the fourth inning.

The Longhorns took advantage of a free base and a fielding error, allowing them to put a running in scoring position. Then, a sac bunt followed by a sac fly was put across the plate to cut the lead to 2-1. A&M answered back immediately in the top of the fifth inning when Hayden Schott hit a two-out single through the right side, scoring LaViolette.

The game really opened up in the Aggies’ favor in the top of the seventh inning. A Gavin Grahovac single and Montgomery’s walk, followed by an error by the left fielder during Schott’s at-bat, allowed an unearned run for a 4-1 lead. A Ted Burton sac fly scored Montgomery, and a Jaxon Appel home run put two more on the board, extending the lead to 7-2 with two innings left.

With the bases loaded in the top of the eighth inning, Schott hit the ball to right field that should have only allowed one run, but the fielder let the ball bounce off his leg, allowing LaViolette and Grahovac to score standing up for the last two runs of the inning. After walking the lead-off batter and allowing him to advance due to a wild pitch, Shane Sdao shut down any hope of a miracle comeback by striking out the next three batters for a 9-2 Aggie win.

No. 4 Texas A&M baseball team earns first narrow victory of season versus Wagner to remain unbeaten

The Aggies were challenged for the first time in the 2024 season on Saturday afternoon at Blue Bell Park but they held on for a 2-0 victory.

The No. 4 Texas A&M baseball team was challenged for the first time in the 2024 season on Saturday afternoon at Blue Bell Park.

The Aggies (6-0) held on for a 2-0 victory versus Wagner after scoring both runs in the first inning. Texas A&M leaned on its stellar pitching staff again.

Justin Lamkin (1-0) picked up his first win of the year by pitching the first 5.0 scoreless innings, allowing 3 hits and 1 walk with 5 strikeouts on 67 pitches. The sophomore left-hander has not allowed a run through two starts.

Senior LHP Evan Aschenbeck tossed the final 4.0 innings and allowed 2 hits and 1 walk with 7 Ks on 46 pitches. Aschenbeck earned the save to mark the longest by an Aggie since 2021 alumnus Jacob Palisch accomplished the feat as a graduate student against Arkansas in 2022.

With the victory, Texas A&M earned its second straight weekend series to begin the campaign for the first time under head coach Jim Schlossnagle. Saturday’s win is the third time in program history that the Aggies have earned a shutout in half of their first six matchups (1949 & 1983). Six runs allowed thus far is the fewest since 2011.

Texas A&M scored its two runs on an RBI single up the middle by junior right fielder Braden Montgomery to score freshman third baseman Graham Grahovac. Montgomery reached base safely for the 34th consecutive contest.

Following an error in the outfield on Montgomery’s hit, sophomore center fielder Jace LoViolette scored an unearned run. Grad student left fielder Hayden Schott went 3-for-4 at the plate to continue his streak as the only Aggie to tally at least one hit in each game this season.

Texas A&M goes for a sweep of the Seahawks from Staten Island tomorrow at 1 p.m.

Texas A&M baseball team reaches 5-0 for first time since 2020 with series-opening win versus Wagner

The Aggies continued to roll on Friday at Blue Bell Park, wallopping Wagner University of Staten Island, New York by a final score of 17-2.

For the 32nd time in program history and the first occurrence since 2020, the Texas A&M baseball team has begun the season with a 5-0 overall record.

The Aggies continued to roll to begin this weekend at Blue Bell Park, wallopping Wagner University of Staten Island, New York by a final score of 17-2. Friday’s matchup was the first all-time between the two programs.

Texas A&M kicked off the new campaign last weekend with a three-game sweep of McNeese State. The Aggies outscored the Cowboys 31-1 and achieved a feat that hadn’t been done in over 100 years.

On Tuesday night, Jace LaViolette propelled Texas A&M to a 9-3 win versus Incarnate Word. The superstar sophomore outfielder hit 2 home runs, bringing his total to 5 through four games. LaViolette didn’t homer in the series opener against the Seahawks on Friday but he did record his fourth multi-hit performance alongside junior infielder Ali Camarillo.

Graduate OF Hayden Schott has tallied at least 1 hit in each game thus far. Senior catcher Hank Bard set a new career-high with 4 runs batted in against Wagner.

Redshirt sophomore Ryan Prager (2-0) earned the win by pitching a career-best 6.2 scoreless innings. He also set a new career-high in strikeouts with 10. In two starts, Prager has tossed 11.2 shutout innings with 19 strikeouts and 1 walk.

Aggies starting pitchers have yet to allow an earned run through five games. Texas A&M will be back at it on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Mic’d up: A behind the scene snippet of Texas A&M Baseball with OF Hayden Schott

Texas A&M is looking to make a run this season and will have a lot of fun along the way.

Friday, February 16, is opening day for Texas A&M’s 2024 baseball season, and everyone is excited to see this talented Aggie squad finally take the field. Much deserved hype (on paper at least) surrounds the team with two consensus All-Americans and boasts a top-10 ranking heading into the 2024 season. The talent level is undeniable, but all expectations must be dampened until we see how the pitching shakes out after a few weeks of play.

If the pitching is even a fraction better than it was last season, this squad has a great chance of making it to the Super regionals this summer. Then, the sky is the limit from that point. Outside of just the talent, there has been a sense of camaraderie and genuine joy in the game among the team. A quick snippet from Aggie Hayden Schott gives us a glimpse of that.
