Last weekend, the Aggies and Rebels did battle, with each team fighting to climb out of the monster holes they’d dug themselves into to start SEC play. Thanks to Brett Minnich’s triumphant return from injury and some Sunday Olsen Magic from Ryan Targac, the Ags came away with a 2-1 series win, bumping their SEC record to 3-6. Cool!
That said, many of the same issues were ever present, despite a positive turn in results. Way too often, the Aggie bats are playing from behind, usually from the very first inning. Last season, the offense was so relentless and powerful, it often didn’t matter how sharp the starting pitching was, so long as they didn’t allow 15 runs.
