No. 24 Texas A&M (19-5, 2-4 SEC) has lost back-to-back SEC series to start conference play, and while the Aggies salvaged a victory against Georgia, winning 18-5 in seven innings, finding consistency on the mound is vital after starters Shane Sdao and Weston Moss allowed too many early runs, while the offense failed to produce timely hits.
While the Georgia Bulldogs certainly played like one of the top teams in the SEC, Texas A&M’s roster is much too talented to to struggle throughout the conference slate, and this weekend, the Aggies will now face Missouri (17-9, 1-5 SEC) on the road, seeking revenge after the Tigers essentially ended A&M’s 2025 postseason hopes, shockingly sweeping coach Michael Earley’s first team in College Station.
Health-wise, the Aggies have dealt with several injury issues, including star transfer infielder Chris Hacopian and transfer outfielder Wesley Jordan, who missed a majority of nonconference play, while the loss of veteran relief pitcher Josh Stewart has forced Earely and pitching coach Jason Kelly to utilize younger arms and hope that the starters last five or six innings.
Before facing Missouri, the latest injury report revealed that Wesley Jordan is “probable” with a 75% chance to play, while the Tigers are without three players, with one doubtful and one questionable player. Overall, this is good news for a team that needs all the help it can get to leave Columbia with a sweep, which would sit them at 5-4 in SEC play.
Texas A&M will face Missouri in Game 1 on Friday, March 27, at 6:00 p.m., and it will be available to stream on SEC Network+.
