Texas A&M baseball

Texas A&M is headed to Omaha and the College World Series after a 4-3, come-from-behind win over Louisville Saturday afternoon at Blue Bell Park.

I knew that everybody that came from somewhere else, including myself and the coaches that came from somewhere else, we were just so excited to be here. We tried to bunt, and it didn't work. That's what we were trying to do, and that's what we will keep doing." We tried the sac, and it didn't work. I knew that they wanted to win, and I knew that they were willing to give up themselves for the opportunity to win. It's an honor to be at a place like Texas A&M and play in the SEC. I think all I asked them to do was to be selfless, work their rear-ends off and just believe. I just felt like we could change the look, and that the batter was in swing mode. He throws a lot of strikes and has a good little changeup, but I just felt like the right-handed hitter he was facing was getting really good swings on him. - Dalton Rushing gave the Cardinals and early 2-0 lead in the first as the junior belted a two-run homer, his team-leading 23rd of the season. Werner took first on a hit-by-pitch and advanced to third on a Moss single. With one out, Ben Metzinger reached on a fielder's choice and Rushing singled to center, allowing the Cardinals to advance into scoring position. The left-handed graduate transfer sat three Cardinals down in order, recording two strikeouts to secure the win and pick up his fifth save of the season.

Texas A&M head baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle said he wanted to play in Omaha this season at his introductory press conference in Kyle Field's Hall of ...

Louisville’s Dalton Rushing launched a two-run home run over the stands in right field to give the Cardinals a 2-0 lead after the first inning. Jacob Palisch inherited a 3-2 with no outs and a runner on first base in the bottom of the ninth. Will Johnston earned his third win of the year after he allowed just two hits in 1 2/3 innings of work in relief.

"This is really neat not just because of our players, but also the 12th Man," Schlossnagle said. "I know how bad they want champions in every sport, and I know ...

I want to win a national title and do it sooner rather than later." The victory over Louisville is now the fifth "one-game win streak" for the Aggies since the start of postseason play. Palish would strike out Payton in the dirt while Claunch delivered the final blow with a throwdown to Moss at first. A Gatorade-baptized Schlossnagle said postgame that from the start he's been impatient. A dog pile with Claunch in the middle ensued at midfield. That's how we're going to approach it in Omaha." A&M third baseman Trevor Werner said that before the start of the regionals, the team's plan was to go on "one game win streaks." For the first time since 2017, A&M returns to the TD Ameritrade Park after sweeping Louisville in a 4-3 fashion Saturday afternoon. He'd pick up the strikeout one pitch later against Metzinger before Rushing drilled a deep fly ball to center with the next at-bat. The hero from Friday night's action, catcher Troy Claunch, delivered a bullet down to catch pinch-runner Chris Seng stealing second in the eighth inning. "This is really neat not just because of our players, but also the 12th Man," Schlossnagle said. A two-run home run from designated hitter Dalton Rushing gave the Cardinals (42-21-1) a first inning lead.

This will be Texas A&M's seventh trip to the CWS, and the Aggies are 0-6 in their last three appearances in 1999, 2011 and 2017.

“And that’s how we’re going to do it in Omaha.” A&M won the last super regional it hosted in two games, as well, over Davidson five years ago. This will be A&M’s seventh trip to the CWS, and the Aggies are 0-6 in their last three appearances in 1999, 2011 and 2017. “That’s a big part of his game,” Schlossnagle said of Claunch’s ability to throw out runners. A&M relievers Will Johnston, Brad Rudis and Jacob Palisch shut down the Cardinals over the final 4 1/3 innings in following starter Micah Dallas, who allowed all three runs in the first five innings. The Aggies (42-18) in their first year under coach Jim Schlossnagle advance to their first College World Series in Omaha, Neb., in five years.
