Unbeaten No. 6 Texas A&M pitching staff continues to dominate with another shutout
For the sixth time this season and second game in a row, the Texas A&M baseball team has shutout their opponent.
The No. 6 Aggies (15-0) continued to dominate on Saturday afternoon at Blue Bell Park in College Station, defeating Rhode Island (2-9) by a final score of 6-0. Texas A&M beat the Rams 11-0 on Friday night at Olsen Field.
Florida State (12-0) is the only other undefeated team left in college baseball other than the Aggies. The Seminoles host New Orleans tonight and are likely to remain unbeaten through the weekend. However, they face in-state rival Florida on Tuesday night in Gainesville.
The Aggies scored three runs in the first inning, two in the fourth and one in the fifth against Rhode Island on Saturday. Junior right fielder Braden Montgomery and graduate student designated hitter Hayden Schott each had 2 runs batted in. Senior first baseman Ted Burton and freshman third baseman Gavin Grahovac had 1 RBI a piece.
Junior right-handed pitcher Tanner Jones started on the mound and pitched the first 4.0 scoreless innings, allowing 4 hits & 2 walks with 8 strikeouts on 79 pitches. Fellow junior RHP Brad Rudis earned the victory after pitching 3.0 scoreless frames of relief, giving up only 1 hit with 4 Ks on 32 pitches.
Texas A&M goes for its third three-game sweep on Sunday at 1 p.m.
