Game Log: Dream Aggies Season Ends in 5-1 Loss to Oklahoma
Texas A&M isn't looking for just another win in the College World Series. The Aggies are looking for two.
After a 13-8 loss in the CWS opener to Oklahoma, No. 5 Texas A&M found itself fighting to stay alive for the remainder of the time in Omaha. The Aggies picked up a monumental 10-2 win over in-state rival Texas on Sunday. Two days later, sophomore Nathan Dettmer pitched seven shutout innings in a 5-1 win over Notre Dame.
A&M needs two wins in a rematch against the Sooners to advance to the CWS final. Oklahoma has been one of college baseball's hottest teams, scoring 19 runs in its two wins and using a high-end starting rotation to leave the bullpen rested.
The Aggies are one of three programs from the SEC to make the Final Four in Omaha. Either Arkansas or Ole Miss will play for a shot at a national title this weekend. Will A&M join one of its SEC West foes?
