GAME PREVIEWS: Houston Baptist & Incarnate Word
Feb 26, 2018 | Baseball
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The No. 11 Texas A&M Aggies wrap up their season-opening, nine-game homestand with games against Houston Baptist and Incarnate Word on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Both games have first pitch times of 6:32 p.m.
The Aggies are looking to start the season 9-0 for the first time since 2015 when they started 24-0.
Fans at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park have been witnesses to rarities in 2018, including cycles by Zach DeLoach and Chris Andritsos, as well as a school-record five-run performance by DeLoach.
On Monday, DeLoach earned SEC Freshman of the Week for the second consecutive week. He became just the second player in league history to earn SEC Freshman of the Week in consecutive weeks and the first player to garner the honor the first two weeks of his career.
Through two weekends, the Aggies lead the SEC in both batting average (.364) and earned-run average (1.43).
A pair of southpaws take the mound for the Aggies, including John Doxakis making his first start of the season and Dustin Saenz making his second career appearance.
The game will be available for viewing on SEC Network + with Will Johnson and Mark Johnson on the call. SEC Network + provides digital-only events to SEC Network subscribers through WatchESPN and the ESPN app on smartphones, computers, tablets and connected devices (Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox 360 and Xbox One). All games this season will be broadcast locally on SportsRadio 1150/102.7 The Zone.
