Texas A&M vs. Lamar College Station Regional, Game 1: Game Log, Box Score

In the iconic words of the legendary UFC announcer Bruce Buffer, "It's time!"
The No. 12-nationally seeded Texas A&M Aggies have once again been given hosting privileges for an NCAA Tournament Regional, where they will begin with Game 1 against the Lamar Cardinals.
The Cardinals and Aggies are no strangers to each other in the 2026 season, having met this past February, where the Aggies put a 25-5 beatdown on the Cardinals in a mercy rule-shortened midweek contest.
And now it's time for Round 2 between the two Texas schools, with everything on the line.
Texas A&M vs. Lamar, Take Two

The Aggies are expected to send starting pitcher Shane Sdao out on the bump to face the Lamar starting nine, as has been the case for most Friday nights in the 2026 season.
Sdao owns a 4-4 win-loss record with 78 strikeouts and a 6.75 earned run average on the year, hoping to rebound after a rough start against the Auburn Tigers in the SEC Tournament last week, where he gave up four hits and two runs in just two innings pitched.
The game is also expected to see the return of Nico Partida to the A&M starting lineup, his first start since pulling his hamstring in the second game of the Auburn series earlier this month.
Here is the starting lineup that Michael Earley is putting on the field for Game 1:
