Aggies Split Doubleheader, Claim Series at No. 2 Arkansas
Apr 18, 2025 | Baseball
FAYETTEVILLE – Jace LaViolette homered three times as the Texas A&M baseball team split Friday's doubleheader against No. 2 Arkansas at Baum-Walker Stadium. With the split, the Aggies (23-16, 8-10) claimed their third straight series win and first in Fayetteville since 2016.
The Maroon & White have now won nine of their last 10 contests and secured back-to-back road series victories against the No. 1 and No. 2 teams for the first time in program history.
LaViolette powered the Maroon & White offensively in the doubleheader as the junior went 4-for-8 with two walks, three homers, five RBI and five runs scored. Kaeden Kent followed with a 4-for-8 performance of his own to go along with two RBI, while Caden Sorrell and Wyatt Henseler also plated two runs each.
In the finale, Luke Jackson (1-0) was brilliant in relief as the redshirt sophomore struck out five over 3 2/3 scoreless frames en route to earning the win. Kaiden Wilson punched out one in a scoreless ninth to seal the victory.
Game One: Aggies 5, Razorbacks 11
Following a leadoff walk to Terrence Kiel II, LaViolette wasted no time putting the Aggies in front as the junior ripped a 375-foot, two-run homer through the wind in right. The Razorbacks (34-7, 13-5) quickly answered in the bottom half with a pair of sacrifice flies to trim the lead to 3-2.
In the second, Henseler belted his ninth home run of the season to push the advantage to 4-2. The graduate student's 63rd career homer traveled 379 feet to left and exited the bat at 98 mph.
After Arkansas registered a solo homer in the third and fourth to even the score, the Razorbacks used a six-run fifth to jump in front 10-4.
Blake Binderup cut the deficit in half in the eighth with a solo home run that traveled 351 feet to left. The long ball marked the fifth of the season for the redshirt sophomore. In the bottom half, the Razorbacks answered with an RBI groundout to make the final 11-5 in the opening game of the doubleheader.
Inside the Box Score
LaViolette opened the scoring in the finale in the first with a 395-foot solo homer to right center. The junior has now homered in four straight games, matching a career high.
After the Razorbacks evened the score in the third with a sacrifice fly, LaViolette struck again in the fifth with a two-out, two-run opposite field homer to put the Aggies back in front, 3-1. The multi-homer game marked the junior's third of the season and 13th of his career.
In the bottom half, Arkansas trimmed the lead to one, 3-2, with a sacrifice fly but Jackson left the tying run stranded on second to keep the Maroon & White in front.
Following a 30-minute lightning delay, Ben Royo sparked a three-run frame for Texas A&M as the junior led off the seventh with a 385-foot solo blast to left center. The junior's sixth homer of the year left the bat at 107 mph. Later in the inning, the Aggies tacked on two more runs to their lead, 6-2, courtesy of a Henseler sac fly and a Bear Harrison RBI single.
In the ninth, the Maroon & White stretched their advantage to 9-2 behind a two-run double from Sorrell and a two-out, RBI single from Kent. After Jackson allowed a leadoff single in the bottom half, Wilson entered to slam the door shut and seal the victory for the Aggies.
Inside the Box Score
The Aggies return home to Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park for a midweek contest against Sam Houston on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
