Aggies 'will do what is best for our team,' start freshman in opener vs. Arkansas

FAYETTEVILLE — A suspension and a short week have led No. 19 Texas A&M to modify its pitching rotation this week against No. 4 Arkansas.

The Aggies will start freshman left hander Chris Weber on Thursday against the Razorbacks. Texas A&M will hold one of its two aces, junior lefty John Doxakis, for the Friday game to keep Doxakis on a seven-day rest schedule.

Texas A&M (34-18-1, 14-12-1 SEC) is coming off of a Friday-Saturday-Sunday series at Alabama.

“We’re going to have to do what is best for our team, obviously,” Texas A&M coach Rob Childress said Tuesday during an interview with TexAgs Radio.
