A solid start unraveled on Friday, chasing Rafael Pineda in the fifth inning, while a lack of big-time plays prevented a late comeback. The Aggies' SEC Tournament run will now make its way to the loser's bracket.

The early part of the Aggies' season was fraught with ups and downs, but at last the dawn of conference play arrives. When A&M welcomes Georgia for this weekend's series, which keys will make the difference?

A&M blew several opportunities at the plate and in the field on Saturday, dropping a winnable game against Ole Miss. Needing to win three games in two days, Rob Childress must look at the lineup and to the mound.

The No. 6 Aggies built an early lead and withstood a Cowboys charge to pull out an 8-7 win and take their final Big 12 series with one game remaining. A&M broke a 6-6 tie in the eighth, giving Ross Stripling the win.

A&M pulled out a dominant 10-0 win in Huntsville on Tuesday. Freshman Daniel Mengden made his second straight midweek start and made the most of it, throwing seven scoreless innings while the lineup rolled.

Rafael Pineda pitched 7.2 scoreless innings for the Aggies but the bullpen came apart in the ninth, allowing the tying and winning runs and denying A&M a series sweep in their final regular season series in Austin.

The rival Owls visited College Station for the teams' annual non-conference meeting and left victors again. The lead belonged to the Aggies for seven innings, but Rice scored twice in the last two to take the win.

A&M took a 6-1 lead into the top of the ninth but unraveled with a series of misplays that allowed Mizzou to tie it. Krey Bratsen's walk-off single in the bottom of the inning won the rubber game and the series.

The Aggies rallied late and, in the game's final play, Jace Statum was called out, ruled to have missed the plate while trying to score on a Chance Bolcerek single. The loss snapped A&M's seven-game win streak.

Texas A&M and Kansas State combined for 27 runs and 33 hits in what looked more like a midweek slugfest than a Friday night battle. The Aggies came up short in game one of the Big 12 season, 15-12.

No. 11 Cal State Fullerton visited Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park on Friday night to begin a much-anticipated non-conference series. Inclement weather came and went, but the Ags won their eighth straight game, 6-1.

The Aggies tangled with the Panthers early but broke the game open in the fifth with a balanced offense, going on to an easy victory and a 12-1 record with No. 11 Cal State Fullerton set to come to Aggieland.
