Texas A&M baseball returns to Olsen Field after dropping a midweek road contest to UTA. Next up, the last place Tennessee Volunteers.

Aggie baseball has climbed back into the rankings (No. 20 in D1 Baseball’s rankings) after winning 11 out of their last 14 games. All this after an 0-5 conference start that had many wondering if they would even make the NCAA tournament. A&M has improved in all major areas of the game: batting, pitching, and defense while taking advantage of a soft stretch in the schedule.

After facing an Alabama team that has gone 2-13 in SEC play, A&M will face off against the Tennessee Vols who have not done much better at 4-11 in SEC play and are tied for the last place in the SEC East. This series is back to the usual Friday-Sunday series setup.

  • Friday – 2 p.m. CT (Early start due to Aggie Muster)
  • Saturday – 2 p.m. CT
  • Sunday – 1 p.m. CT.

All games will be shown on the SEC Network plus and available on the radio at 1150 AM.

Projected Pitching Matchups

  • Friday: No. 15 Brigham Hill (Jr., RHP, 5-3, 3.29 ERA) vs. No. 12 Hunter Martin (Sr., RHP, 4-3, 3.47 ERA)
  • Saturday: No. 12 Corbin Martin (Jr., RHP, 4-2, 3.83 ERA) vs. #27 Garrett Stallings (Fr., RHP, 2-0, 3.18 ERA)
  • Sunday: No. 32 Stephen Kolek (So., RHP, 2-2, 4.11 ERA) vs. #23 Zach Warren (Jr., LHP, 2-4, 5.92 ERA)
