No. 7 Texas A&M (31-7, 12-5 SEC) is by far one of the hottest teams in the country after earning its fourth consecutive SEC series, sweeping the LSU Tigers for the first time since 1978, while the Aggies are the first SEC team to sweep the Tigers in Alex Box Stadium since 2022.
Over the first two games, Texas A&M only trailed once during the Friday night opener before the offense exploded late in the game, winning 10-4, led by freshman outfielder Jorian Wilson’s two home runs, while Saturday’s 7-2 Game 2 victory was much of the same, as sophomore pitcher Aiden Sims dominated to reach 7-0 on the year with six strikeouts and just two earned runs.
Entering Sunday, it was assumed that LSU coach Jay Johnson would go to the bullpen early to give his team a chance, and after Caden Sorrell’s 18th home run of the season, combined with Maryland transfer Chris Hacopian’s two-run home run an inning later, Johnson did just that, leading to LSU pitcher Deven Sheerin shutting out the Aggies after Gavin Grahovac’s RBI single.
Even though the Aggies failed to score after the fourth inning, Aiden Sims, Gavin Lyons, and reliever Clayton Freshcorn continued to provide stability, while Texas A&M stays undefeated on the year after scoring at least six runs, which is quite the stat if the pitching rotation stays steady the rest of the season.
After the sweep, Texas A&M is now in sole second place in the SEC after sweeping rival Texas last weekend, and will now host a talented UTSA team on Tuesday night before facing Florida on the road, starting on Friday night.
