Blake Stouffer went 3-for-5 with the game-winning solo home run in the top of the 10th on Tuesday night to lift Texas A&M past Lamar, 6-5, here at Vincent-Beck Stadium.
Stouffer belted a 0-2 pitch over the wall in right off Cardinals?™ reliever Chuckie Platt (3-2) to give A&M the lead. It was Stouffer?™s first long ball of the season.
Kyle Thebeau (3-2) retired the side in the 10th to earn the win.
With their third-straight win and fourth in their last five games, the Aggies improved to 18-10, while Lamar dropped to 19-11.
After facing the minimum through the first five innings, Lamar starter Derrick Gordon ran into trouble in the top of the sixth. Todd Sebek walked and moved to second on a bunt single by Josh Stinson. After a popped up sacrifice bunt attempt by Parker Dalton, Sebek stole third and scored on a bunt single by Stouffer. Both runners moved up a station on a groundout to first by Jose Salazar.
Austin Boggs delivered the third bunt single of the inning to allow Stinson to score and Stouffer scored when third baseman Jo Jo Haney wildly threw to first base.
Lamar answered in the bottom of the sixth with a run off A&M starter Jason Meyer to make the score 3-1. Collin DeLome led off with a single and later scored on a double to right center by C.J. Ebarb.
A&M added a run in the top of the eight to increase their lead to 4-1. Dalton drew a two-out walk and raced to third on a single to right by Stouffer. Salazar ripped the first pitch he saw from reliever Justin Walker into right to plate Dalton.
Dan Hernandez lifted his sixth homer of the season over the wall in right in the bottom of the eighth to cut the lead to 4-2.
After the homer, Will Henderson doubled and Matt Ueckert replaced reliever Hart Hering. After Ueckert walked the only man he faced, Kyle Nicholson entered the game and coaxed Matt Lambeth to ground into a double play to end the inning and the threat.
Jake Vasquez blasted his second home run of the season and his second in as many games to give the Aggies a 5-2 lead heading to the bottom of the ninth.
Vasquez?™s homer would prove important as Lamar rallied for three runs in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game at five and send it to extra innings. An RBI double by Colt Crawford, a RBI single by DeLome and a sacrifice fly by Henderson did the damage. All three runs were charged to Nicholson.
Making his first start of the season, Meyer tossed six-complete innings. He allowed one run on six hits, while striking out six and walking one.
Texas A&M returns to action this weekend when they travel to Stillwater, Okla., for a three game Big 12 series with Oklahoma State. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.
