Despite the field crew\u2019s best efforts, No. 18 Texas A&M baseball had no choice but to call its series against No. 2 Texas finished after two games thanks to lingering rain and lightning that hung around the Bryan-College Station area.<\/p>\n
What was initially set as a 1 p.m. first pitch to either salvage the series for one party or secure a sweep for the other, continued to meet delay after delay as the certainty of a rematch hung in the balance.<\/p>\n
The final of three games against the Longhorns was called off after the Aggies outscored their centuries-old rival 20-12 through the first two contests, both ending in favor of the home squad. Head coach Michael Earley and his unit avenged a sweep in Austin a season ago by putting together stellar at-bats and fantastic pitching by its standards so far in 2026.<\/p>\n
Now sharing the same Southeastern Conference record as their burnt orange adversaries, the Maroon and White hold the tiebreaker and stand at second in the league just behind No. 4 Georgia. Additionally, the 11-4 win over Texas on April 11, secured A&M\u2019s first ranked series victory so far this season.<\/p>\n
While far from being considered a day off, the Aggies will in essence have another day of rest before staying home to face Houston on Tuesday, April 14, with first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite the field crew\u2019s best efforts, No. 18 Texas A&M baseball had no choice but to call its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":247048,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-247047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
