Texas A&MAuburn Tigers
It was a massive weekend in Aggieland, with several marquee events happening at once, but for the Texas A&M baseball team, the momentum didnât carry over. The Aggies dropped their first SEC series since March and closed the week with a 2â2 record.
Texas A&M opened the week with a hardâfought win over a strong Tarleton State squad, a Texans team that owns victories over Texas and Baylor and currently sits atop the WAC standings. Head coach Michael Earley knew the midweek matchup wouldnât be easy, but the Aggies handled business and shifted their focus to a talented Auburn Tigers team coming to town.
Weather has been a recurring issue at Blue Bell Park this season, and once again, Fridayâs opener was pushed to Saturday, creating a doubleheader. A&M had been solid in doubleheaders recently, but that trend ended abruptly. Auburn ran away with Game 1 and edged out a nailâbiter in Game 2 to clinch the series. The Aggies avoided the sweep with a strong response in Game 3.
The schedule wonât get any easier from here, but Texas A&M remains a clear postseason team. The real question now is whether they can stay in the NCAA Tournament hosting picture as they close out the regular season.
