BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – No. 22 Texas A&M delivered a pair of victories over Oakland in doubleheader action Friday night from Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.

The Aggies topped the Golden Grizzlies, 6-3, in game one and 10-2 in the second bout behind strong starts from Shane Sdao and Weston Moss, respectively.

Game One: Aggies 6, Golden Grizzlies 3

The Maroon & White added two more runs in the bottom of the fifth when Gavin Grahovac drilled a double off the wall in right center to plate Terrence Kiel II and Sorrell. The Aggies increased their advantage in the sixth inning after a ground ball from Jorian Wilson was misplayed by Oakland's second baseman, scoring Nico Partida.

Sdao (3-0) logged his third consecutive quality start, working 7.0 innings and allowing three earned runs. The lefty issued one walk and punched out a career-high eight batters. In six of his seven innings pitched, Sdao sat down the side in order.

Juan Vargas worked 1.2 innings in relief, allowing no runs on two hits. Clayton Freshcorn earned his second save of the year, entering the contest with the tying run at the plate and inducing a pop fly for the final out.
