The Texas A&M Aggies baseball team is the No. 1 team in the country following a sweep of then-No. 6 Vanderbilt over the weekend.

The Aggies run-ruled the Commodores on Friday with a 15-0 win, beat Vandy on Saturday 9-0, and completed the sweep on Sunday with a 12-6 drubbing.

The series was played at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park in College Station - the Aggies' home field - and the 12th man showed up in droves to support A&M baseball.

Freshman infielder Gavin Grahovac was a big part of the series win. The third baseman went 5-for-11 with eight runs scored, three walks, three RBIs and two home runs, and is impressed at the level of competition in the SEC.

“I think it was from one to nine. Every guy did it, every guy was hitting the ball great, we all saw it great. I don’t know, we just came out and wanted to compete. That’s what we continue wanting to do and what we continue planning to do,” Grahovac said postgame on Sunday. “Vandy is a historically great team. Coach Corbin is a great coach and all of those players are great. In the SEC, you can’t expect nothing less than greatness from every team so we have to come out here and compete.

“Coach always tells us to keep playing because the game isn’t over until it’s over.”

Grahovac was equally impressed with the energy from the 12th man, who showed up in droves for the three-game weekend series.

“Unbelievable, I don’t know if you guys saw my tweet but there are literally no words to describe them,” Grahovac told the media. “They bring the energy every single game no matter how many people are here. Obviously, we had some big crowds this weekend so that was awesome. There are no words to describe them, they are absolutely amazing.”
