Caden Sorrell’s walk-off home run leads Texas A&M past South Carolina 8-7 on Thursday
Texas A&M (18-15, 4-9 SEC) has now won four consecutive games after defeating South Carolina 8-7 in 10 innings after star outfielder, now DH Caden Sorrell hit a walk-off home run after the Gamecocks tied the game in the top of the eighth. Thanks to the relief pitcher Weston Moss, the Aggies didn’t allow another run for the final three innings.
On the mound, ace Ryan Prager was up and down, allowing five earned runs, including two home runs, but did strikeout eight batters, lasting 6.2 innings. The runs are disappointing, but Prager’s lasting six-plus innings saved the bullpen for the weekend, which, outside of winning, was the overall goal for the series.
The Aggies continued to churn out runs at the plate, as their performance against Tennessee was not a fluke. Wyatt Henseler’s RBI single gave A&M a 1-0 lead, but after Ethan Petry and Beau Hollins’ home runs, the Aggies trailed 3-1 but were completely unfettered in the bottom of the third.
Catcher Bear Harrison, who is hitting nearly .500 over his last three games, delivered with an RBI single, followed by backup first baseman Blake Binderup’s grand slam, taking what looked like a dominant 6-3 lead. However, a fielding error by second baseman Ben Royo resulted in several Gamecock runs. Still, the Aggies continued to deliver as Binderup recorded his second hit, sending Caden Sorrell home.
After Weston Moss took over for Prager in the seventh, his only earned run allowed came off a Nathan Hall home run, while South Carolina’s game-tying run came off a fielding error after Blake Binderup fumbled a throw from Moss.
Said game-tying run was the only downside of Weston Moss’s incredible night, allowing four hits while tying Prager with eight strikeouts, including three consecutive strikeouts in the top of the tenth. In the bottom of the frame, Caden Sorrell, who had yet to record a hit, ended the game on the first pitch, delivering his fifth home run on the year and giving the Aggies their 18th win and fourth in SEC play.
Texas A&M will host South Carolina for Game 2 of the series on Friday, April 11, at 6:00 p.m. CT. The game will be available to stream on SEC Network+.

(WPDE) — June 9 marked International Batten Disease Awareness Day, shining a light on a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorder.
It primarily affects children and causes harmful waste material to build up inside the cells of the brain and nervous system.
One South Carolina family used the day to raise awareness as their 2-year-old son, Sam Stockton, lives with CLN2 Batten disease.
Sam was diagnosed at 16 weeks old, and his family says they travel every other week for enzyme-replacement therapy while also searching for clinical research opportunities.
Through Hope for Sam, the family is working to spread information about Batten disease and support other families facing rare diseases.
“Just the more you know about rare diseases, I never knew that over 300 million people worldwide live with rare diseases. And that means there’s less access to care because people aren’t researching it and not as many people have it. So the more information that’s out there, we feel is the better,” Jordan Stockton said.
There are 13 known types of Batten disease, and there is no cure. Researchers estimate the disease affects about two to four out of every 100,000 births in the United States.
The Stockton family says they have found support through the Batten Disease Support, Research and Advocacy Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping families navigate the disease while providing resources.
