COLLEGE STATION — After securing the series with a doubleheader sweep Friday, Texas A&M baseball aims to take all three games against its Horizon League opponent in the series finale Saturday.
The Aggies (13-1) defeated Oakland 6-3 in Game 1 on Friday, then easily won 10-2 in Game 2. Now, in their final nonconference weekend game, A&M aims to make the Golden Grizzlies (1-13) its third straight series sweep this season.
The Aggies’ starting pitching has been stellar against Oakland, with Shane Sdao and Weston Moss combining for 12 strikeouts, just seven hits, and four runs in 13 innings. Next up is Aiden Sims, who is 2-0 in the young season with a 2.04 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 17⅔ innings.
A&M’s offense has been a mixed bag as it navigates key injuries. The Aggies have missed second baseman Chris Hacopian for all but three games this year, while designated hitter Wesley Jordan has missed the last eight outings.
Still, the Aggies as a team have a .333 batting average (fourth in SEC), are slugging .588 (third in SEC) and have a .488 on-base percentage (third in SEC).
