Texas A&M (17-15, 3-9 SEC) took care of business on the road against Sam Houston, who entered the game with eight wins. It was crucial for the Aggies not to slip up after defeating then No. 1-ranked Tennessee by a combined 26-9 in Saturday's doubleheader series win. However, a quick 1-0 deficit had fans worried that the team had fallen back into its inconsistent ways.
Starting on the mound, freshman Gavin Lyons, who ended up having a solid three-inning outing, allowed a solo home run before locking back in, and from then on, the Aggie bats came alive.
