Texas A&M<\/a> baseball avoided a late scare from Auburn<\/a> to secure the series finale<\/a> and avoid being swept for the first time in 2026.<\/p>\n Right-hander Weston Moss had a career performance with six strikeouts and just one hit allowed in 6.1 innings on the mound for the Aggies<\/a>. Meanwhile, second baseman Chris Hacopian, who was slated as a designated hitter in Sunday’s lineup due to an injury, notched all four runs scored. His massive three-run homer gave Texas A&M a commanding 4-0 lead entering the seventh, but the Tigers chipped away at the lead and trailed by just one run with the bases loaded in the top of the ninth.<\/p>\n In relief of Ethan Darden, who entered the contest on the bump to replace Moss, Clayton Freshcorn earned his 11th save of the year, which ranks fifth all-time for most saves in a single season in program history. The Aggies turned a poetic 4-6-3 double play to send Auburn home with a Game 3 loss, after dropping their first SEC series since March 21.<\/p>\n Next up, the Aggies remain at home on Tuesday, as they face Prairie View A&M at Blue Bell Park. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on SEC Network+.<\/p>\n Here are some of the best social media reactions from Texas A&M’s win against Auburn in the series finale on Sunday afternoon:<\/p>\n Need a news break?
