COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The Texas A&M baseball team looks to continue its strong finish to the regular season when the Aggies host UT Arlington Tuesday at Olsen Field. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m.
A&M (33-18-1) has won five straight and 11 of its last 13 overall. The Aggies, who are in fifth place in the Big 12 standings at 12-11-1, sit one game back of second-place Kansas State with three games against the Wildcats to play this weekend in College Station. With Sunday's 6-1 win at Oklahoma State, Texas A&M became only the third team to sweep the Cowboys at home in a three-game series in the 29-year history of Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.
The Mavericks, meanwhile, are 26-26 on the year and are in fifth place in the Southland at 18-12. UTA has lost four of its last five, salvaging the final game of this past weekend's series with an 11-8 win over Lamar in Arlington.
Texas A&M leads the all-time series, 21-7, and has won four of the last five meetings. Last season, the Aggies downed the Mavericks, 11-8, at Olsen Field.
