The No. 25 Texas A&M Aggies load the bus for road trip number two on the 2026 conference slate as they head up north for a weekend series with the Missouri Tigers.

Both teams have struggled in the early stages of conference play thus far, with Texas A&M sitting at 2-4 and the Tigers at 1-5, with Missouri's lone win coming last Friday in Knoxville against the Tennessee Volunteers.

The Aggies, while they have gone 1-2 in both of their first two conference series this season, are much more focused on redeeming themselves from the embarrassment that they suffered at the hands of Missouri last year in College Station, when they were swept by a Tigers team that entered the weekend winless in SEC play.

The Tigers were given two midweek games to play over the past week, defeating the Illinois Fighting Illini 5-1 Tuesday night before dropping their Wednesday night contest against the Lindenwood Lions 10-4.

Texas A&M was successful in their lone midweek matchup on Tuesday, besting the Houston Christian Huskies 5-1 at Blue Bell Park in College Station.
