Texas A&M\u2019s<\/a> undefeated start came to a crashing halt on Saturday night, as No. 23 A&M (9\u20131) was run\u2011ruled 11\u20131 by No. 1 UCLA (8\u20132) in Game 2 of the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nothing ever clicked for the Aggies, and the warning signs showed up almost immediately. After a one\u2011out walk in the top of the first, Caden Sorrell was doubled off at first on a deep flyout to right by Gavin Grahovac \u2014 a costly baserunning mistake that erased A&M\u2019s only early traffic. Moments later, starting pitcher Weston Moss struggled to settle in, and the Bruins<\/a> pounced.<\/p>\n Moss opened the night by allowing four runs on four hits and a walk, putting the Aggies in a 4\u20130 hole before they ever found their footing. The lone highlight came in the top of the second, when Jake Duer launched a solo home run<\/a> to cut the deficit to 4\u20131. But the momentum didn\u2019t last. Moss surrendered two more runs in the bottom half of the inning, ending his outing after just 1.2 innings and handing the ball to Gavin Lyons.<\/p>\n Lyons delivered three steady innings, giving up only one run and doing everything he could to stabilize the game, but the offense never offered support. A&M managed just one hit after Duer\u2019s homer and never mounted another threat.<\/p>\n Cole Hubert entered in the sixth, but with two outs, UCLA delivered the final blow \u2014 a three\u2011run homer that pushed the lead to 11\u20131 and triggered run\u2011rule territory. The Aggies went down in order in the top of the seventh, ending the night early and sealing their first loss of the season.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
