Texas A&M baseball will face USC in the College Station Regional final on Sunday night, with an opportunity to secure its 11th appearance in a super regional.
To get here, the Aggies dominated Texas State, 17-2, in a late-night offensive onslaught Saturday at Blue Bell Park. Texas A&M’s lineup exploded for 20 hits, including two home runs, and 16 RBI. Left fielder Jake Duer led the team with a career-high six RBI, while designated hitter Chris Hacopian continued adding to his impressive regional performance, going 3-of-6 with four RBI.
Meanwhile, right-handed pitcher Weston Moss had one of the best outings of his collegiate career against the Bobcats, striking out a career-high 10 hitters, while allowing just five hits and two earned runs through 7.1 innings pitched.
In the elimination game on Sunday afternoon, the Trojans claimed a 15-4 win over the Bobcats to advance to the regional final against the Aggies. With Texas A&M 2-0 in the College Station Regional, USC must defeat them tonight to avoid being eliminated and force Game 2 on Sunday.
After much speculation about the status of Aiden Sims, head coach Michael Earley confirmed the right-hander would miss the rest of the season. His absence from the starting rotation will likely result in left-handed pitcher Ethan Darden getting the start on the bump for the Aggies against the Trojans.
