Texas A&M Aggies

The Texas A&M Aggies baseball team is back on the diamond on Tuesday night, where they will welcome their long-time rival Texas Longhorns in a midweek matchup.

The Aggies, who have been struggling as of late, are looking to bounce back after getting swept in Knoxville by the No. 12 Tennessee Volunteers over the weekend, and dropping out of the top-25.

Meanwhile, the Longhorns, who just broke into the top-25 themselves, have been streaking, and are winners of 14-0, including a sweep over No. 14 Texas Tech.

So can the Aggies stop their losing streak against an old, and future new SEC arch-rival?

Let's take a look:

A look at Texas A&M's season so far

The Aggies entered the season with high expectations following their return to the College World Series last season. So far, though, it has been largely a mixed bag of results. They sit at 15-9 but have struggled out of the gate in conference play, with a 1-5 record, and enter Tuesday night riding a three-game losing streak.

Texas A&M by the numbers

Record: 18-7

Runs scored: 176

Runs allowed: 103

Team Avg.: .286

Team ERA: 3.40

Texas A&M wins this game if...

It can get to the Longhorns starter early and make this a bullpen game. The Texas pitching staff has been the best in the Big 12 so far this season, but has shown issues with bullpen depth at times that could crop up against the Aggies. It won't be an easy task to accomplish, but if they can get the starter out early then the Aggies could snap Texas' winning streak.

Texas wins this game if...

It can just keep doing what it's been doing and keep the momentum rolling when on the road. When you win 14 games in a row, you're clearly doing something right. The lineup has been firing on all cylinders with several clutch hits, while the pitching staff has maintained its early season form. If the Longhorns can just stay the course and not get lost in a hostile road environment, they will rack up their 15th straight win.
