Tuesday night the Aggies faced off against long time rival, University of Texas, losing to the Longhorns 3-4 . Coach Childress started freshman John Doxakis who gave up 2 hits in 3.1 IP with 1 error. It’s early in his career, but the expectation is that Doxakis will follow in the foot steps of RHP Brigham Hill and become A&M’s Friday night starter in future seasons.
Texas A&M ended Tuesday’s loss with 2 balks and 4 errors, way too high for a team as talented and disciplined as the Aggies. Hopefully all of the mistakes were due to the pressure and excitement of playing in such as historic rivalry.
