No. 10 Texas A&M completed a three-game weekend sweep of LSU with a 5-2 win on Sunday in Baton Rouge. It marks the first time the Tigers have suffered a sweep in consecutive series in SEC play since the 2021 season.
The Aggies did all of their damage in the first four innings. Caden Sorrell’s home run with one out in the top of the first staked A&M to a 1-0 lead. Bear Harrison made it 2-0 in the second on a sacrifice flyout to left field before Chris Hacopian stretched it to 4-0 with a two-run home run in the third. Gavin Grahovic’s RBI single in the fourth upped the lead to 5-0.
That was more than enough for the Aggies as Weston Moss went 4.1 innings, allowing no runs on three hits while striking out five and walking two. Gavin Lyons pitched 2.2 innings of hitless relief and got the win while striking out two batters and walking two. Clayton Freshcorn (2.0 IP, 2 R, 4 H, 0 BB, 4 K) finished it out, allowing LSU’s only runs of the day to score in the eighth inning on a Cade Arrambide home run and a passed ball with two out.
Sunday was the latest example of what’s been a disappointing season for the Tigers. The defending College World Series champions are 23-18 overall and 6-12 in SEC play. Barring a late run, they’re in danger of missing Regionals altogether a year after the program’s eighth title.
Meanwhile, the Aggies — who have taken their last four series — moved to 31-7 while moving to 12-5 in league play, putting them a half-behind Georgia for the conference lead with one month to go before the SEC Tournament.
