The Aggies pounced on the Tigers for three runs in the top of the first. Choruby was issued a base on balls to start the game and Logan Foster followed by rattling a triple down rightfield line. Shewmake pushed Foster across with a groundout to second for the 2-0 lead. Joel Davis and Cole Bedford strung together back-to-back singles to put runners on the corners and Davis came home when rightfielder Trey Harris dropped Jorge Gutierrez's fly ball but regrouped in time to retire Bedford at second on the force out.
Texas A&M (30-13, 11-8 SEC) manufactured a two-out run in the fourth. Austin Homan drew a walk and Kopetsky threaded with a single through the right side. Choruby with a single through the right side of his own to plate Homan for the 4-0 advantage.
