The Bobcats plated four runs in the second inning and kept their lead until the bottom of the fourth inning, when the Aggies' bats came alive.

Second baseman Chris Hacopian carried his successful weekend in Norman, Oklahoma, over to Texas A&M's midweek contest against Texas State by mashing a solo home run to get the Maroon and White on the board in the fourth. Boston Kellner's two-RBI single and Gavin Grahovac's RBI single gave Texas A&M a 5-4 lead in the game with two outs in the inning, but the Aggies were not done yet.

Caden Sorrell, who leads the starting lineup with a .389 batting average so far this season, continued to prove why he is one of the most clutch hitters in college baseball. His 10th homer of the year, a two-run shot to right field, scored Grahovac and put the Aggies on top of the Bobcats 7-4.

Texas State responded with two runs in the fifth, but Sorrell struck again with another two-run home run in the seventh inning to give Texas A&M a three-run advantage. Clayton Freshcorn closed things out for the Aggies, as the program secured a win over the Bobcats with a showdown against the No. 7 Georgia Bulldogs looming this weekend at Blue Bell Park.

With the win, Texas A&M improves to 17-3 (1-2 in SEC) in Michael Earley's second campaign at the helm. The Aggie lineup has flashed their power, but there is still much room for improvement in the bullpen. Texas A&M's pitching staff has a combined 3.93 ERA through 20 contests.

The depth of the rotation saw a massive hit in the series loss to Oklahoma, as right-hander Josh Stewart left Game 1 with an apparent arm injury and appears to be done for the season. The Aggies are set to face another elite lineup when Georgia comes to College Station on Friday.

First pitch against the Bulldogs is slated for 6 p.m. CT on Friday, followed by Game 2 (2 p.m. CT) and Game 3 (3 p.m. CT) on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. All games will be broadcast live on SEC Network+.
