Texas A&M drops series vs. Georgia after 8-2 Game 2 loss

Texas A&M (17-4, 1-4 SEC) is struggling in every facet of the term after losing its second SEC series of the season, dropping Saturday’s Game 2 home matchup vs. visiting No. 7 Georgia 8-2 behind another home run fest that left Aggie fans wondering if this team will win an SEC series in the near future. As bleak as that sounds, it’s hard to find any positive outcomes over the last two games.

After junior LHP Shane Sdao’s 11 strikeouts on Friday, his four runs allowed left the Aggies in a hole, which he acknowledged after the game as being an issue that must be addressed moving forward. On Saturday, fellow junior pitcher Weston Moss took the mound, and after a solid opening inning, Georgia’s offense continued its onslaught, hitting three solo home runs to take a 3-0 lead into the third inning.

While star junior outfielder Caden Sorrell cut into the lead after an impressive hit to the gap, sending freshman Boston Kellner home, Georgia hammered three more home runs over the next three innings, while the Aggies only mustered one more run off of Chris Hacopian’s RBI in the fifth frame.

After Weston Moss was relieved, sophomore Gavin Lyons wasn’t any better, allowing three runs in just two innings of work. After the game, second-year head coach Michael Earely stated that his team was outright “pummeled,” and on its face, Sunday’s series finale looks like a must-win to avoid a 1-5 start in SEC play before facing Missouri on the road next weekend.
