The righty struck out six and suffered just three hits and two walks. Clayton Freshcorn closed the last 2.0 innings in scoreless fashion, striking out a pair.

Texas A&M claimed the early lead in the second inning on a Jorian Wilson RBI single. Bear Harrison lined a two-run homer 368 feet to left field, leaving the bat at 109 miles per hour. The Tigers (23-17, 6-11) spotted a run in the bottom half with a solo homer to make it a 3-1 game.

Gavin Grahovac led off the third inning with a long ball to left field. Caden Sorrell and Chris Hacopian followed with consecutive hits and Jake Duer brought a run home with a sacrifice fly. The Maroon & White scratched another run across in the fifth inning on a Hacopian sacrifice fly to take a 6-1 advantage.
