The #4 Seeded Texas A&M Aggies made things interested in the regionals this past weekend in College Station. Clearly the favorites, Texas A&M struggled in their first two games of the double-elimination format. They had to overcome a 5 run first inning by Sam Houston State in Game 1 before winning 9-5 and in Game 2, they fell to Houston 8-1.
With their backs against the wall, Texas A&M found itself in a win or go home situation. They started their trek vs Sam Houston State in an elimination game and quickly dispatched them 11-0. That set up a championship series vs Houston. Not only did the Ags have to win, but due to the double-elimination format, they had to beat Houston twice. Game 1 was over quickly as A&M won 13-2 in a five inning called game. Game 2, for all the marbles, was never in question as A&M shutout Houston 5-0 to advance to the Super Regionals.
The Super Regionals come back to College Station as #4 seeded Texas A&m hosts #13 Florida in a best of 3 series. Game 1's first pitch is set for Friday night at 6:30 PM, while Game 2 and 3 (if necessary) are set for Saturday at 1:00 and 3:30 PM.
