BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – A pair of late three-run homers from Hayden Schott and Braden Montgomery lifted the No. 4 Texas A&M baseball team past Texas Southern, 7-4, in midweek action Wednesday night from Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
Â
With the win, the Aggies are off to a 13-0 start for the first time since 2015 and seventh time in program history.
Â
After the Tigers (4-10) extended their advantage to 3-1 in the top half of the seventh, Schott answered for the Maroon & White in the bottom half of the frame. The Newport Beach, California, native turned on a 1-0 pitch and lifted it 403 feet to dead center for a go-ahead three-run homer that catapulted the Aggies in front, 4-3.
Â
In the eighth, Braden Montgomery added insurance for the Maroon & White with a three-run opposite field blast to left to stretch the lead to 7-3. The Tigers got a run back in the ninth on an RBI single to make the final 7-4, in favor of the Aggies.
Â
Reliever Josh Stewart earned the win after striking out a season-best four in 1.1 scoreless frames. Freshman Isaac Morton received a no-decision in his first career start, allowing no runs over 2.1 frames to go along with a game-high seven punchouts. Â
Â
Following a Max Kaufer leadoff double and a pair of walks from Ali Camarillo and Jack Bell, the Aggies broke through on the scoreboard in the fifth with an RBI groundout by Gavin Grahovac.
Â
The Tigers responded in the top of the sixth with a two-run homer off the bat of Jaden Jones to take a 2-1 lead. The long ball was the first allowed by the Maroon & White this season.
Â
Texas A&M threatened in the bottom half of the frame as they put a pair on with only one out but a baserunning error followed by a groundout kept the score 2-1, in favor of Texas Southern.
Inside the Box Score
The Maroon & White continue their five-game homestand with a three-game set against Rhode Island starting Friday night at 6 p.m.
