COLLEGE STATION – No. 20 Texas A&M swept the twin-bill finale over Vanderbilt to secure its second consecutive conference series win Friday night from Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.

The Aggies (25-6, 7-5) downed the Commodores (19-14, 6-6), 8-4, in the first game and blanked the visitors in the finale, 12-0, behind a seven-inning complete game shutout from Aiden Sims.

In the doubleheader, the Maroon & White launched six home runs and scored in 11 of 14 combined offensive frames.

The Commodores knocked back-to-back solo homers in the third to get within a run.

An errant throw by Vanderbilt's pitcher allowed a run to score for the Aggies in the fourth, but the Commodores responded in the top of the fifth with a solo home run to make it 4-3. An RBI single by Jorian Wilson extended the Maroon & White's edge to two, but Vanderbilt answered again in the sixth with a solo homer.
