COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – Texas A&M baseball will open the College Station Regional against Lamar on Friday at Blue Bell Park.<\/p>\n
The 12th-seeded Aggies faced the Cardinals in a midweek contest in February, winning 25-5 in a run-rule game. A&M\u2019s offense dominated Lamar\u2019s pitching staff in that matchup.<\/p>\n
Aggies head coach Michael Early said he won\u2019t rely on the past heading into Friday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, it\u2019s a completely different game. It\u2019s a completely different ball team for sure. And they\u2019ve had an unbelievable year. Really good on the mound offensively as well. Just a complete team. It\u2019s going to be tough. That\u2019s why they won their league. That\u2019s why their coaches got a really, really, really good job. So I mean, yeah, they\u2019re really, really good and they\u2019re going to be tough to deal with,\u201d Early said.<\/p>\n
Texas State and USC will play following the A&M game on the other side of the regional bracket.<\/p>\n
Despite an early exit from the SEC Tournament, Early said the team\u2019s response will be key to a deep postseason run.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust because some of these games could be lose or go home or you put yourself in a bad situation, you continue to play the game how you\u2019ve played the game,\u201d Earley said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been put through the ringer and have done nothing but respond with extreme resilience. That\u2019s from what we\u2019ve done from day one, from playing in tough environments and from playing in a tough league. That\u2019s why I feel good about going into this,\u201d Early said.<\/p>\n
First pitch between the Aggies and Cardinals is set for 3 p.m. Shane Sadeo will start on the mound for A&M.<\/p>\n
