Three Aggies make the NCAA Stanford All-Regional Team

A Trio of Aggies receive recognition for their play during the Stanford Regional

The Aggies started the NCAA regional tournament by beating Cal State Fullerton and Stanford to advance to the Regional Final.

Senior outfielder Brett Minnich, Junior infielder Hunter Haas, and Junior infielder Jack Moss played major roles in getting the Aggies to the Regional Final this past weekend.

Below are their tournament stats and the official announcement via the Aggie baseball Twitter page. There is a good chance this is the last time Texas A&M fans will see these three in the Maroon & White, so it is nice to see them get acknowledged for their play in the Stanford Regional.

How to Watch: Baseball Texas A&M vs Stanford (NCAA Stanford Regional Final Game Two)

The Aggies will face the Stanford Cardinals in a win-or-go home game on Monday night.

Sunday night’s game will be the end of the road this season for one of these teams, and the other will earn a Super regional spot. Texas A&M made it to the Regional Final by going 2-0 for one of the Final spots, while Stanford and Cal State Fullerton battled for the other, with the Cardinals being the victors.

Stanford did not let up later in the day against the Aggies, starching them to 16 hits and 13 runs to force a winner to take all game. This situation gave Coach Schlossnagle a flashback when coaching TCU and Texas blew them out 14-1 in a game run, then bounced back to beat the Longhorns 4-1 in the winner-take-all game. The Aggies hope to mirror that same success in their game Sunday night.

GAME SCHEDULE

Regional Final Game 2 – Stanford – June 5th at approx. 8 pm CT. 

Texas A&M: RHP Nathan Dettmer (1-3, 6.19 ERA)

Stanford: RHP Matt Scott (5-3, 4.96 ERA)

Jim Schlossnagle and Brett Minnich speak after falling to Stanford (NCAA Regional Final)

Jim Schlossnagle and Brett Minnich speak after falling to Stanford (NCAA Regional Final)

It was a tough night in the office for the Aggies on Saturday where they got beat 13-5 by the Stanford Cardinals. While Texas A&M did pull close in the bottom of the sixth inning, Stanford responded in a big way pounding the Aggies for seven runs to go up 13-5 late in the game. Then with A&M only being able to muster one hit over the final two innings wasn’t ideal on the way to their loss.

As Coach Schlossnagle said in the press conference, Texas A&M is still in the same position that they were in on Sunday night. They just need to win one more game to move on to the Super Regional. Below is what Coach Schloss and Brett Minnich had to say after the game.

Texas A&M will face Stanford at 8 pm CT. on Monday, June 4 on ESPN2.

Game Recap: Baseball – Texas A&M vs Stanford (NCAA Regional Final)

The Aggies can’t keep pace with Stanford’s high-octane offense losing 13-5.

My best excuse is that the Aggies were due for a stinker. Lucky for them, all the work they put in on the first two days awarded them the opportunity to avenge their loss. The Cardinals came in warm off their elimination game win over Cal State Fullerton and hit the ball all over the field in a 13-5 win.

The game started with Stanford scoring two runs before the clean batter even stepped out of the batter’s box. However, Jace LaViolette would give the Aggies the lead on a three-run homer over the center field wall. Then two batters later, Ryan Targac hit a solo shot extending the lead to 4-2.

Stanford matched A&M with their own four runs on three hits retaking the lead 4-6. This game was shaping up to be a highlight-reel game but actually turned into a stalemate, with both teams going scoreless for the next three innings. The Aggies pulled within one run in the bottom of the sixth with a Brett Minnich home run.

The wheels fell off in the seventh inning for the Maroon & White when the pitchers could not locate the strike zone, and a handful of wild pitches got away from them. That perfect storm led to Stanford scoring seven runs to pull away with a 5-13 lead. With neither team crossing the plate the rest of the night, the Cardinals held their lead to force a win-or-go-home situation on Monday.

Final Score: Aggies 5, Cardinals 13 – W: Brandt Pancer (3-1); L: Wansing, Troy (3-4); S: Nick Dugan (1)

Texas A&M will face Stanford at 8 pm CT. on Monday, June 4.

How to Watch: Baseball Texas A&M vs Stanford (NCAA Stanford Regional)

The Aggies advanced to the Regional final by beating Stanford 8-5 a little under 24 hrs ago and will have to do it again Sunday night. The Cardinals earned their rematch by defeating the Cal State Fullerton Titans 6-5.

If Texas A&M wins Sunday night, they will move to the super regional with a chance to possibly take on Texas again. A loss means they will play an elimination game on Monday. I expect a tight game. Even though Stanford is coming off just a few hours of rest, they are ranked in the top ten for a reason. The Aggies should probably through the kitchen sink at The Cardinals because they are a team you do not want to see in an elimination scenario.

GAME SCHEDULE

Regional Final – Stanford – June 4th at approx. 8 pm CT. 

Texas A&M: LHP Troy Wansing (3-3, 4.80 ERA)

Game Recap: Baseball – Texas A&M vs Stanford (NCAA Regional)

Hunter Haas comes up big the 8-5 victory pushing the Aggies past the No. 6 Stanford Cardinals

Texas A&M is hitting its groove now, having won eight of the last ten games. The most encouraging thing about the run has been the pitching along that stretch. They rode that momentum into the game against the top-ten-ranked Stanford Cardinals. After falling behind early, the Aggies woke up and scored six runs over the last half of the game to pull away with a 12-7 victory.

After putting one on the board in the first inning, the Aggies pitchers struggled slightly, giving up four runs heading into the fourth. Brett Minnich stopped the leaking with a game-altering double that allowed Austin Bost to score, cutting the deficit to 2-4.

Hunter Haas would be responsible for the subsequent five runs as he hit a double in the sixth, scoring Max Kaufer and Minnich. Then in the eighth, with a tied game, Haas hit another double down the left-field line to bring three more Aggies across the plate for a 7-4 lead.

A&M added one more insurance run in the top of the ninth, extending the lead to 8-4. It wouldn’t be an Aggie game if there weren’t a little drama to close out the game, and the two out-pitching issues the Aggies had earlier in the season made a brief appearance at the end of this one. After retiring the first two batters, Troy Wansing walked a batter after a 12-pitch at-bat, then hit the next batter for two free bases. The next batter hit a single for the Cardinal’s lone inning run, and Coach Schloss brought Matt Dillard to close the game.

He hit the first batter he faced loading the bases and putting the winning run at the plate. Fortunately for the Maroon & White, Dillard induced a pop-up for the final out of the game.

Final Score: Aggies 8, Cardinals 5 – W: Garcia, Brandyn (3-3); L: Drew Dowd (9-3); S: Wansing, Troy (2)

Texas A&M will face the winner of the Stanford/Cal State Fullerton game at 8 pm on Sunday, June 4. The game can be viewed on ESPN+

Texas A&M baseball selected as a 2-seed in the Stanford Regional

The Texas A&M Baseball team has been named the 2-seed in the Stanford regional and will take on 3-seed Cal State Fullerton on Friday.

The wait is over for head coach Jim Schlossnagle and his Aggie baseball squad, as the program has been named as the 2-seed in the Stanford Regional in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, where they will face 3-seed Cal State Fullerton (31-22) on Friday, June 2 at 9:00 pm CT. On ESPN2. The Titans will make their first Tournament appearance since 2018.

Regional host Stanford (38-16) will also take on 4-seed San Jose State (31-22) on Friday. For Texas A&M, it’s been a long and winding road to return to the Tournament for the second consecutive season in Schlossnagle’s second season with the program, where he led the Aggies to the College World Series semifinals in 2022.

Coming off their incredible showing in the SEC Tournament last week, Texas A&M (36-25) earned resume-building wins over Tennessee, LSU, South Carolina, and Arkansas, eventually falling to the Vanderbilt Commodores in the Championship game on Sunday afternoon.

After their performance last week, many expected the Aggies to land as a 2-seed in some Regional. Still, the challenge is steep because they will travel to Palo Alto, California, over 1,800 miles away from College Station, but this team has what it takes after facing top-tier SEC completion all season long.
