Aggies Drop Series Opener with Missouri
May 09, 2025 | Baseball
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The Texas A&M baseball team dropped its series opener with Missouri, 9-6, Friday night at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
The Aggies (27-21, 10-15) struck first in the opening frame behind a leadoff home run from Jace LaViolette to Section 12 in right center. The junior's first career leadoff home run left the bat at 112 mph and traveled 415 feet.
Following a pair of infield singles, the Tigers (14-35, 1-24) scratched across a run in the second on an RBI single through the left side to even the score at 1-1.
The Maroon & White responded in the third with a five-spot to jump back in front 6-1. LaViolette and Wyatt Henseler opened the frame with back-to-back solo blasts to stretch the lead to 3-1. LaViolette's second long ball of the game was belted 431 feet to straightaway center, while Henseler's traveled 380 feet into Aggie Alley in left.
Later in the inning, Blake Binderup deposited a three-run homer over the wall in left to extend the advantage to 6-1. The redshirt sophomore's eighth home run of the season left the bat at 97 mph and traveled 351 feet.
After Missouri cut the lead in half, 6-3, in the fifth courtesy of a two-run homer, the Aggie bats were held to only one hit over the final five frames. In the ninth, the Tigers loaded the bases with no outs and went on to push across six runs to take their first lead of the night.
Texas A&M was retired in order in the bottom half as they fell in the opener, 9-6.
Starter Ryan Prager was handed a no-decision after allowing three runs over six innings of work. The left-hander also struck out seven on the night. Kaiden Wilson (0-2) suffered the loss after allowing three runs, one earned, in an inning of work.
