Three reasons Texas A&M baseball becomes national champions: The bottom half of the lineup returns to form

The Aggies struggled too much on offense last game, full stop. Thought Jace LaViolette looks to have returned to form, the rest of the Aggies (especially in the six-through-nine spots) did not look sharp at all.

I think that flips tonight. The slump looked to begin to let up near the end of the game, as the Aggies began getting men on base finally in the 9th inning. Hopefully the Ags can carry that over into this matchup with the Vols.

We especially need to see that in the bottom of the lineup. Kaeden Kent finally had a bad game, so I’d bet on him to rebound. Chestnut is the biggest question mark, but after Targac came in to pinch hit for him, the Ags could potentially be due for a change in the lineup. He did look much more comfortable at the plate, didn’t he?

I think the Aggies find something in that stretch of Camarillo-Sorrell-Kent to plate a few runs in tonight’s game. Let’s hope they figure it out quickly and blow this one wide open early.
