Dominating Baton Rouge: The Aggies’ Weekend Sweep
No. 10 Texas A&M rolled into Alex Box Stadium and carved out a 5-2 win over LSU, wrapping up their second straight SEC series sweep and seventh consecutive conference victory. Starter Weston Moss went 4.1 innings, yielding three hits and fanning five before reliever Gavin Lyons shut down the Tigers to secure his seventh win of the year and remain unbeaten. Early fireworks came courtesy of Caden Sorrell’s 18th homer, Bear Harrison’s sac fly and Chris Hacopian’s two-run blast, while Gavin Grahovac chipped in with an RBI single. LSU managed a late two-run surge, but it proved too little to spoil the Maroon & White’s party. With their win total already eclipsing last year’s mark, the Aggies now set their sights on UTSA this week before another tough road trip to Gainesville.
In a stunning display of weekend hygiene, the Aggies scrubbed the Tigers so clean they might consider launching a line of disinfectant wipes. Who knew baseball could double as spring cleaning? LSU fans probably woke up Monday looking for a mop. Meanwhile, our fearless A&M pitchers worked harder than your grandma fighting a virus—holding the opposition to two measly runs. Marie Kondo would be proud. Now, if only the team could tidy up their batting averages at home plate the same way.
Spring Scrimmage: Maroon Madness and Penalty Pandemonium
Texas A&M’s Maroon & White spring game delivered a little bit of everything. On offense, quarterback Marcel Reed flashed his dual-threat skills, going 7-for-13 for 80 yards and showcasing Jamarian Morrow and Mario Craver as key playmakers. But the good vibes hit a snag when linebacker Daymion Sanford suffered a lower-leg injury late in the second quarter, prompting a solemn huddle and stretcher exit. And just when fans thought they’d seen it all, false-start flags rained down like autumn leaves—four penalties all against Team Maroon—highlighting an off-season chore list coaches will be tackling before fall.
Yes, it’s springtime in College Station, which means two things: miraculous first downs and the annual tradition of impromptu ambulance yoga on the turf. Who needs action figures when you can have a scrum praying for your star linebacker? And those penalty flags? Clearly someone mistook Kyle Field for a confetti cannon factory. But hey, if you can’t laugh off a string of false starts, you’ll never survive halftime locker-room dance–off karaoke night. Here’s hoping next year they skip the stretcher and bring balloons instead.
