Kyle Simonds recorded the Aggies’ 12th no-hitter in program history last May against Vanderbilt. That victory, particularly the ninth inning, will go down as one of the most incredible pitching performances in Texas A&M Baseball history.
On Tuesday the 2017 Aggie pitching staff came within an out of recording the program’s first combined no hitter since February 6, 1998. On that day Ryan Rupe, Shane King and Chris Scarcella shut out UT-Pan American. The Aggies had not posted no-hitters in consecutive seasons since 1987/1988.
With two outs in the ninth, ACU designated hitter Luis Trevino singled off reliever Jason Ruffcorn to break up the no-hit bid.
