Texas A&M baseball handled business in Bryan-College Station on Tuesday night, as the Aggies claimed a 10-2 midweek victory over the Houston Cougars.
After defeating Texas in the Lone Star Showdown and surging up the SEC standings, Texas A&M went right back to work against Houston, putting up 11 hits, including three home runs and 10 RBI. Meanwhile, the Aggie bullpen recorded eight strikeouts and allowed just two earned runs.
Houston snatched a 2-0 lead at the top of the first with an RBI single from Xavier Perez and Cade Climie, but Texas A&M charged back with a two-run home run from Jorian Wilson in the second inning and another two-run shot from Nico Partida in the third.
First baseman Gavin Grahovac claimed sole possession of the ninth-most career home runs in program history, as the Baseball America Week 9 National Team of the Week selection continues to wreak havoc at the plate for the Aggies in his junior campaign.
Partida’s third RBI of the contest in the bottom of the fifth sealed Texas A&M’s third consecutive win and kept the momentum rolling into another massive conference series this weekend.
After an impressive weekend against the Longhorns and the midweek win over the Cougars, the Aggies sit in second place in the current league standings. Many obstacles lie ahead for the Maroon and White, but Texas A&M’s success at the plate could be the spark the club needs to reach the postseason in 2026.
Next up, Texas A&M will travel to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for a conference series against the LSU Tigers. Game 1 is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT on Friday, and Game 2 is set for 7 p.m. CT on Saturday. The series finale between the Aggies and Tigers is on Sunday at 1 p.m. CT. The series opener and finale will be broadcast on ESPN, with Game 2 on the SEC Network.
