Heading into this past weekend, Schloss & The Boys were set to encounter their first legitimate, name-brand competition of the young season. They were coming into Houston having demolished a bad HCU team, yes, but the week prior was bad; almost catastrophically so. Three games at Minute Maid Park against Louisville, Rice, and Texas Tech seemed like the perfect opportunity for the Aggies to kick things back into gear.
They immediately ran into a buzz saw in Louisville (the eventual champion of the tournament), who raced out to a six-run lead before A&M recorded their first hit of the weekend.
