ABOUT TEXAS A&M
The Aggies are coming off a 39-23-1 season in which they went 16-13-1 in the Southeastern Conference, one of the premiere leagues for baseball. They advanced to the NCAA Tournament Regional Final in 2019 before falling to Duke. Texas A&M's top returning hitter is junior second baseman Bryce Blaum. Last season he hit .293 with nine home runs and 32 RBIs. The Aggies' success last year was based on their pitching. As a team they had a 3.21 ERA and 673 strikeouts in 555.1 innings pitched. Their top returning pitcher is their Friday starter, junior lefty Asa Lacy. Lacy, who might be a top-10 pick in this year's Major League Baseball Draft in June, went 8-4 with a 2.13 ERA in 15 starts. He had a .162 opponent batting average and 130 strikeouts in 88.2 innings pitched.

SERIES WITH TEXAS A&M
