In their first home games against former head coach Jim Schlossnagle since his jarring departure from the team almost two years ago, the Texas A&M Aggies made the most of the two games they got against the Texas Longhorns over the weekend.

Game 1 featured a back-and-forth contest that saw Texas A&M eventually pull out a 9-8 victory, Game 2 saw a blowout from Texas A&M in the form of an 11-4 win, and the series finale was unfortunately cancelled after a day-long rain delay, stealing A&M's chance for a final blow on the weekend.

But the action that was seen in between the baselines at Blue Bell Park in College Station gave the Aggies plenty of confidence going forward, and even more attention on the national scale.

After two massive wins at home over a highly ranked Texas team, the Aggies were rewarded heartily in the D1Baseball Top 25 rankings, soaring from No. 18 all the way up to No. 10, the highest they've sat since they started the 2025 season as the No. 1 team.

On the flip side, the sweep finally bumped the Longhorns off of their No. 2 spot, dropping to No. 4 in the ranks.

The weekend's results put both teams at an overall record of 27-7 and a conference record of 9-5 for the 2026 season, tying the two teams for second place in the SEC standings behind only the Georgia Bulldogs.

Still ruling the country is the UCLA Bruins, who are currently riding a 27-game winning streak with a 33-2 record, with their last loss coming back on February 24 against the San Diego State Aztecs.
