The Series So Far

Jim Schlossnagle made his first return to College Station since leaving Texas A&M, and as expected, the 12th Man has shown out for the first two games of the series.

In a back-and-forth series opener on Friday, the Longhorns' pitching collapsed in the sixth inning as they struggled to find the strike zone, tossing five walks in the inning alone for three earned runs to give the Aggies the lead.

Texas A&M didn’t have to swing the bat in the series opener, as four of the nine runs came from walks.

In the series splitter yesterday, the Aggies ' power-hitting prowess was too much for the veteran Luke Harrison, who has provided the Longhorns with big outings since conference play. Harrison allowed a pair of singles and an extra-base hit before the rain delayed the game.

Still feeling good, Harrison was sent back out on the mound following the lengthy delay. The Aggies hitters seemingly returned from the break with more juice at the plate.

Harrison wouldn’t make it out of the first inning, as he allowed an additional three extra base hits to give the Aggies a commanding, 8-1 lead, which the Aggies rode to hand the Longhorns their first series loss of the season.

Texas is looking to avoid its first sweep against Texas A&M since 1991, when the two programs were members of the Southwest Conference.

It will be up to Dylan Volantis to mediate the damage that has already been done — the Longhorns still have a decent option in the bullpen with Sam Cozart and Thomas Burns having yet to make an appearance in this series.
