Fun Fact: I was almost kicked out of this game because I clapped back at an usher telling me to sit down in the bottom of the ninth. That usher didn't make it back the next day, so I hope he's okay.

AND IT WAS AMAZING!

Histag and I wore evening gowns to this game.

And it was SOOOO much fun! (Though hot as heck and I wish had brought tennis shoes lol) I'm sure I have a picture of us somewhere from that lol

Top Moments of 2024 Countdown

1. Aggies Use a Nine-Run Seventh Inning to Punch Their Ticket to Omaha
Date: June 9, 2025

In Game One of the Bryan-College Station Super Regional, the Aggies battled back from an early deficit and weathered the adversity of losing Braden Montgomery to injury. But just when you thought you could take a breath, emergent number 2 starter Shane Sdao exited Game Two after just 11 pitches. Then, Oregon jumped on Brad Rudis and Tanner Jones to build a 7-2 lead after three innings. There were small glimpses of hope, like the Aggie offense chipping away with two runs in the fourth and Kaiden Wilson escaping a bases-loaded, no-out jam to keep things close. But A&M trailed 8-4 going into the seventh and had been held without an extra base hit through the first six innings. Then, it happened.

Ali Camarillo walked. Kaeden Kent singled to move him to third. After a Travis Chestnut strikeout, back-to-back walks to Jackson Appel and Jace LaViolette got one run on the board. But then, Gavin Grahovac struck out for the second out of the inning.

Hayden Schott walked to bring in another run, and from that point on Olsen Field was at it's absolute best. With the crowd in a frenzy that rivaled the best nights across the street at Kyle Field, Ted Burton was hit by a pitch to pull the Ags within one. Caden Sorrell earned a walk on eight pitches to tie the game. After a pitching change, Ali Camarillo was issued the seventh of eight free passes in the inning to give the Aggies the unlikeliest of leads at 9-8.

And then...

Kaeden Kent, in for the injured Braden Montgomery, sent a grand slam into Section 12 to break the game open and give the Ags a 13-8 lead. I wasn't around for Big John in 1989, but I have to imagine those swings were the only ones that could hope to rival the sheer elation in the crowd.

After the big seventh, Evan Aschenbeck closed out the final three innings, allowing just a solo home run in the eighth. Hayden Schott added a two-run bomb in the top half of that inning for good measure.

Aggies in Omaha? Good.

As I pointed out that night (go find the game thread if you need proof), we started scoring right after Max met Daddy Targac. I think that sparked the magic.

Thank you, Ensign, for keeping all of us focused on moving day-by-day from off-season to opening day. You are the very best.

You'll find a blue star from me on every single road you've identified in Texas. Some days, it was a pleasure to be #1. Other days, like today, I was only #5 but I've followed you for every day.

ONE DAY MORE!
