In Game 2, A&amp;M&#8217;s bats exploded for 11 hits and two home runs, winning <a href=\"http:\/\/aggieswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/college\/aggies\/baseball\/2026\/03\/06\/texas-aggies-baseball-clinch-series-oakland-game-two-win\/89024195007\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">10-2<\/a> behind another bounce-back performance from Weston Moss on the mound.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Winning the series, Game 3, due to the weather, was moved up three hours to 11 a.m. on Saturday, and the time change did not have an effect on the Aggie offense, scoring six runs in the fourth inning, while Sorrell hit his eighth home run, recording three RBI on the day, and, is up to 28 on the year thus far. With 14 hits and three more home runs, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/sports\/college-sports\/sec\/texas-am\" data-autotag=\"b9436d3f-7a91-499d-900d-6ca3a6ee20c7\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Texas A&amp;M<\/a>&#8216;s offense looks SEC-ready.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">On the mound, Aiden Sims earned his third win, lasting five innings, allowing four hits and striking out four, while veteran reliever Josh Stewart matched Sims with four strikeouts to finish the game. Texas A&amp;M will now head to Norman to face No. 12 Oklahoma to open conference play, starting on Friday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Contact\/Follow us\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aggieswire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">@AggiesWire<\/a>\u00a0on X\u00a0(formerly Twitter) and like our page on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AggiesWire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&amp;M news, notes and opinions.\u00a0Follow Cameron on X:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CameronOhnysty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">@CameronOhnysty<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:7|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 7, 2026, 2:45 p.m. CT No. 22 Texas A&amp;M (14-1) didn&#8217;t flinch heading into the final weekend&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209494,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[243,143,145,144,95439,14987,19326,95441,95440,246],"class_list":["post-209493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-accessfree","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news","tag-sstssportscollegeaggiesbaseball","tag-sstsnbaseball","tag-tagbreaking-news-social","tag-tagcollege-baseball","tag-tagtexas-am-aggies","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
