COLLEGE STATION – No. 10 Texas A&M plated 11 runs off 16 hits to even the series against No. 13 Mississippi State, 11-9, Friday evening from Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
The Aggies (38-13, 17-11) were led offensively by Caden Sorrell who matched a career-high six RBI and was a single shy of the cycle.

The Bulldogs (39-15, 16-13) claimed the lead in the second inning after plating three runs behind three hits and a throwing error.
In the home half of the frame, Blake Binderup led off with a double and Grahovac drew a walk. Sorrell shot his first triple of the season down the right field line to bring both runners across the plate and put the Aggies back in front, 4-3.
The visitors reclaimed the lead in the third inning with two solo homers.
Following back-to-back base knocks, Binderup put the Maroon & White back in front with a three-run shot to left field. Grahovac launched a solo home run that traveled 372 feet and left the bat at 103 miles per hour to close out the four-run inning. Another long ball from the Bulldogs in the fourth inning pulled the game back within one.
Ol' Sarge's charges added a pair of insurance runs in the fifth inning behind a two-RBI double from Sorrell. The visitors matched the score, bringing in two runs off their fourth long ball of the game, making it 10-9 in the Aggies' favor.
The Maroon & White scratched another run across the plate in the sixth behind a bases-loaded hit by pitch, capping the final score at 11-9. Clayton Freshcorn closed out the final 3.0 frames, earning his 12th save of the year and matching a career-high five punchouts while only allowing two hits.
