<\/p>\nIt was another successful start to another rivalry weekend for the No. 10 Texas A&M Aggies on the diamond in Baton Rouge Friday night as the team downed the LSU Tigers at Alex Box Stadium 10-4 to open up their three-game series. <\/p>\n
Freshman Jorian Wilson was the fuel for Texas A&M all throughout the contest, smashing two home runs, bringing him up to nine on the year, and batting in four runs on the night. <\/p>\n
Relief pitcher Gavin Lyons took his sixth win to remain undefeated in the 2026 season, and the Aggies now sit with a 10-5 conference record and 29-7 overall record, and a win on Saturday would allow them to match their win total from last year with plenty of action still left to go in the campaign. <\/p>\n

The Maroon and White got on the board first in the top of the third inning as Caden Sorrell grounded out to first, allowing Bear Harrison to score. <\/p>\n
The score was followed up in the bottom of the fourth inning when LSU shortstop Steven Milam smashed a solo home run to left center to tie the game at one apiece. <\/p>\n
A&M would then rattle off back-to-back three-run innings in the fifth and sixth frames, with Chris Hacopian batting in Harrison with a single to center field, and Jake Duer following it up with a two-run single, scoring Hacopian and Sorrell. <\/p>\n
Inning number six saw Jorian Wilson send his first home run of the night into the left center bleachers, scoring Terrence Kiel II, and Gavin Grahovac followed up with a solo round tripper of his own to give A&M a 7-2 lead after six innings. <\/p>\n
After Grahovac scored on a wild pitch to put the Aggies up 8-2, LSU would score two additional runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, but Wilson would respond with his second home run of the night, another two-run shot scoring Kiel II yet again, giving the Aggies the 10-4 lead, and a perfect ninth inning by Ethan Darden later, and A&M was still sitting at second place in the SEC. <\/p>\n
Texas A&M starting pitcher Shane Sdao went 4.2 innings pitched, allowing six hits and two earned runs while also striking out four hitters on 74 pitches.<\/p>\n
Gavin Lyons would score the win, however, with his 2.1 innings pitched, four hits allowed, and four strikeouts as well. <\/p>\n
The two teams face off in Game 2 of the series Saturday at 4:30 PM in Baton Rouge.<\/p>\n
