Mar 13, 2021 | Baseball
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies pounded out six home runs as they clobbered the Samford Bulldogs, 21-4, Saturday afternoon in game one of the doubleheader to clinch the series on Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
The Aggie offense picked up where they left off in the final three frames of the previous game. The Maroon & White put up runs in all eight innings, including multiple runs in seven frames. Texas A&M scoring consisted of a two-run first and a three-run second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and eight, and a one-run seventh.
The offense was paced by Taylor Smith and Hunter Coleman. Smith was near perfect going 4-for-5 with two home runs, one double, four runs, and four RBI. Hunter Coleman added a three-run homer and solo blast of his own, while Jordan Thompson and Will Frizzell recorded a home run apiece.
The Maroon & White outhit their opponents, 21-8, marking the sixth straight game with a double-digit hitting performance. Texas A&M had 12 Aggies record a hit, while six recorded multiple hits.
Bryce Miller labored through four frames, giving up two runs on four hits while fanning six and walking three. Chandler Jozwiak (1-1) came on in relief and earned the win. Jozwiak was phenomenal through his 3.0 scoreless innings of work, scattering two hits while striking out five.
The staff tallied 12 strikeouts on the day, marking their 14th double-digit performance in 17 games.
The Maroon & White improved to 13-4 on the season, lengthening their winning streak to nine games.
