Texas State baseball<\/a> will fight to stay alive Sunday in a rematch against USC after a humiliating 17-2 defeat to Texas A&M.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Bobcats took an early 2-0 lead Saturday after two innings. The Aggies proceeded to score 17 unanswered runs to make the College Station Regional finals, as the pitching staff completely melted down by the seventh frame.<\/p>\n

Texas State staved off USC in its opening game, winning 5-4<\/a> thanks to infielder Chase Mora’s<\/a> ninth-inning go-ahead home run. The Trojans responded with a 19-6 demolition of the Lamar Cardinals and should be eager to throw that momentum back at the Bobcats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Texas State has shown an exceptional ability over the past month to weather its opponent’s biggest punches and scrap out late-game wins. USC, still ranked 11th in RPI, holds perhaps the deepest pitching staff in the region. The Bobcat bats will need to be at their peak to counter the Trojans’ bullpen, as they are quickly running out of arms of their own. Texas State will also have to do without Rashawn Galloway, who is out of the lineup as he deals with an injury.<\/p>\n

The winner will need to defeat the Aggies at 8 p.m. and on Monday to make the super regionals. Here are live updates from Texas State’s matchup with USC.<\/p>\n
