Over the weekend, the Texas Aggie baseball team accomplished something that we haven’t seen since all the way back in 2022 against Penn: lose a series they shouldn’t in week two against an opponent they conceivably should have swept. That’s a markedly improved opening sentence to what I was almost forced to use. And until Jace LaViolette’s two-out, two-strike, two-run double in the bottom of the ninth on Sunday, would have included phrases such as “swept in non-conference” and “first time since 1986”. Both sentences are bad, but one decidedly worse. Avoiding disaster, that sort of thing.
The Portland Pilots came into College Station and flat out beat the Aggies down.
