GAME PREVIEW: Rice
Mar 18, 2019 | Baseball
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The No. 18 Texas A&M Aggies host the Rice Owls in a 6:30 p.m. contest Tuesday on Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
The game airs on the SEC Network with Mike Morgan (play-by-play) and Todd Walker (color analyst) on the call. The game is also 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). The games will air on SportsRadio 1150 and/or 102.7 The Zone.
The Maroon & White look to continue the momentum gained from the weekend's series victory over No. 2 Vanderbilt. After suffering a 7-4 loss in Friday's opener and falling behind 7-2 after seven innings on Saturday, the Maroon & White mounted an epic comeback scoring six runs in the final two innings to even the series and then won the rubber match, 7-0. The Aggies outscored the Commodores 13-0 in the final 11 innings of the series with Jonathan Ducoff driving in seven of the runs. The graduate transfer batted 4-for-4 with runners in scoring position and five of his RBI came with two outs, including Saturday's walk-off run.
Cam Blake enters play as the Aggies' top hitter with a .340 batting average to go with nine runs and 10 RBI. After starting the season with a .278 average through March 3, Blake has heated up to the tune of .379 (11-for-29) over the last nine games, including three doubles and one triple. Ty Coleman is also warming up, batting .429 (12-for-28) over the last eight games after starting the season at a .214 clip (6-for-28).
