AUSTIN, Texas – The No. 25 Texas A&M Aggies face the Indiana Hoosiers in an elimination game Sunday afternoon at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. First pitch is slated for 2:04 p.m.
The winner of the game will need to defeat host Texas Sunday night and Monday evening to claim the regional title.
The Aggies are coming off an 8-3 loss to Texas on Saturday night. Indiana bested Texas Southern, 6-0, in an elimination game Saturday afternoon.
With this year's regional appearance, the Aggies extend their school-record string of consecutive NCAA Championships to 12. Texas A&M is one of only four schools to appear in each of the last 12 NCAA Division I Baseball Championships. The Maroon and White's 12-season NCAA postseason string is the second-longest in the SEC trailing only Vanderbilt (13 years). It's also the longest active string among Texas schools.
The Aggies rank in the top 25 in the nation in triples (9th – 21), ERA (12th - 3.28), hits (15th – 607), WHIP (21st – 1.25) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (23rd – 2.68).
Texas A&M has players in the top 25 of three individual categories. Michael Helman ranks 13th with 90 hits. Nolan Hoffman ranks 11th in saves (14) and 20th in pitching appearances (32).
The Aggies are 84-76 all-time in NCAA Championship play, including a 71-47 mark in regional action. Texas A&M has won regionals in 1993, '99, '04, '07, '08, '11, '15, '16 and '17. They also captured a district playoff title in 1951 before regional play began.
The game will be televised on the ESPN2 with Tom Hart (play-by-play) and Kyle Peterson (color) handling the call. The contest will be available for viewing on ESPN3. ESPN3 provides 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.
