HOOVER, Alabama – The Texas A&M Aggies continue their run at the SEC Tournament Wednesday when they face the No. 9 Georgia Bulldogs in the day's first action at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium. The game is set for 9:30 a.m.
Texas A&M opened the tournament Tuesday with a 3-1 victory against Vanderbilt behind the pitching of Kaylor Chafin and Nolan Hoffman. Chafin, who yielded just one run in 6.0 innings, improved to 13-2 for his career with his .867 winning percentage ranking fifth on A&M's all-time list. Hoffman pitched 3.0 blank frames to rack up his 13th save of the season, one shy of Texas A&M's record of 14 set by Jason Jester in 2013.
The Aggies are looking for their second SEC Tournament crown, to go with their 2016 title. Texas A&M owns a 9-6 record all-time at the SEC Tournament logging a pair of wins in both 2013 and 2015 in addition to the four wins during the 2016 title run.
Georgia took two of three from the Aggies in their regular-season series played in Athens. This marks their first meeting at the SEC Tournament.
The game will be televised on the SEC Network with Dave Neal (play-by-play), Todd Walker (color) and Kris Budden (field) handling the call. The contest will be available for viewing on SEC Network +. 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 three games will air on SportsRadio 1150/102.7 The Zone.
The winner of Wednesday's game advances to a quarterfinal game Thursday against the winner of the Auburn-Ole Miss game. The loser of Wednesday's game faces the Auburn-Ole Miss loser in an elimination game.
