COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – No. 22 Texas A&M baseball swept Oakland in three games Saturday, closing out the series with a seven inning 12-1 victory. Game three was moved up a day due to weather.<\/p>\n
The Aggies entered the day having already taken both games of a Friday doubleheader against the Golden Grizzlies. Here is a game rundown:<\/p>\n
Why did A&M win? The Aggies carried a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the fourth inning. College Station native Blake Binderup singled through the right side for an RBI to get things rolling in frame. <\/p>\n
Two at-bats later, on a throwing error from Oakland, Sawyer Farr tallied with a two RBI double, putting A&M ahead 5-0. Still with no outs in the inning, Terrence Keil and Caden Sorrell both put-up RBIs to seal off a six-run inning for A&M.<\/p>\n
In the bottom of the fifth, Sorrell went yard, hitting a two-run homerun to right-center field for his eighth homerun of the season. Saturday was Sorrell\u2019s 21st birthday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t really want to change anything just because it was my birthday,\u201d Sorrell said. \u201cI\u2019ve been doing good with the routine I\u2019ve had so far, so I kind of try to forget it was my birthday a little bit this morning. It\u2019s definitely started off pretty great. I mean, you can\u2019t ask for much more.\u201d<\/p>\n
Who stood out? Sorrell went 3-for-3 during Saturday\u2019s win over the Golden Grizzlies, notching two runs, three RBIs and one homerun.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it\u2019s in the zone and he swings, you got a good probability of a ball being hit hard,\u201d Texas A&M head coach Michael Earley said. \u201cHe\u2019s just got to continue to hone that zone and get his pitch. And when he does, he hits it about as well as anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also, for the Aggies, Binderup went 2-for-4 brough in two runs on three RBIs and one homerun.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s next? A&M hosts Stephen F. Austin on Tuesday at 6 p.m. before opening conference play at Oklahoma on March 13.<\/p>\n
