College Station – Then, there were 16. In four days, they’ll be eight. Will Texas A&M be one of the groups?
One year ago, Texas A&M moved to manager from longtime vet Rob Childress to Jim Schlossnagle of TCU. The Aggies were exiting the season in which they finished the conference 9-21. Schlossnagle, who joined the Horned Frogs in 2004, had 18 years of winning mentality and five appearances in the College World Series.
Schlossnagle wanted to establish culture during his first season at Blue Bell Park. Instead, I skipped a few steps and went to Powerhouse in 2022, winning SEC West and being #1 since 2019.
Number 5 Aggies (40-18) took care of the business in Game 1 thanks to a single by Troy Claunch. A&M will need to find better consistency on the board with 17 runners remaining at base – 13 of whom were in the scoring position.
Small right-handed Mika Dallas is looking to close the door at No. 12 in Louisville, but the Cardinals will do their best to put up a fight. This season, Louisville (42-19-1) is 14th in batting average (.309), eighth in batting (686) and 28th in home runs (94). Will A&M be able to control the fast pace of the attack?
