Tide Takes Series Finale from Aggies
May 14, 2023 | Baseball
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M baseball team was unable to mount a rally in Sunday's 11-0 series rubber match loss against the Alabama Crimson Tide on Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
Start time of the game was delayed six hours and 59 minutes due to inclement weather in the Brazos Valley.
Alabama (35-17, 13-14 SEC) jumped out to an early lead for the second straight game, posting a run in the first frame. They added a grand slam by Tommy Seidl in the second inning along with an insurance run in the seventh and five runs in the ninth.
Texas A&M (30-22, 12-15 SEC) was able to get two runners aboard in the first and third innings but were unable to break the scoring seal. The Aggies put the leadoff man on just once in the contest.
Jordan Thompson batted 3-for-4 for the Maroon & White and Jack Moss was 2-for-4 with a double.
Jacob McNairy (6-1) worked 7.0 innings for Alabama, scattering six hits and one walk while striking out nine. Seidl had three hits and five RBI to pace the Crimson Tide.
Aggie starter Troy Wansing (2-3) was saddled with the loss, yielding one run on two hits and two walks while striking out one in 0.2 innings
