STRIPLING CLIMBING ALL-TIME WINS LIST
Senior pitcher Ross Stripling has enjoyed an outstanding career wearing the Maroon & White and is beginning to etch his name among the greats in Aggie baseball history.
After leading the nation in victories with 14 a season ago, the Southlake, Texas, native has made an amazing ascent up the Texas A&M list of all-time pitching wins. Stripling enters this weekend with 25 career wins to place him in a tie for seventh all-time with James "Hoot" Gibson (1975-76).
Up next is former A&M great Clint Thomas who won 26 games for the Aggies from 1973-76. Teammate Michael Wacha is just on the verge of cracking the career Top 10, entering the weekend with 22 career wins.
