Texas A&M finds a way to win Game 1 in extra innings against South Carolina after letting the lead slip away.
In a nail-biting SEC showdown, the Texas A&M Aggies continued their winning streak with a dramatic 8-7 extra-innings victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Aggies’ offense kicked off strong, fueled by a thrilling grand slam from Blake Binderup that secured a 6-3 lead early in the game. However, the Gamecocks clawed back, tying the score at 7-7 in the top of the eighth inning.
Texas A&M’s pitcher Weston Moss displayed nerves of steel in a high-stakes moment, striking out South Carolina’s final batter with runners on the corners in the ninth inning to keep the score knotted. The decisive blow came in the bottom of the tenth, when Caden Sorrell, continuing his electrifying season, launched the first pitch over the left field wall for a walk-off home run. Sorrell's heroics earned him the coveted green jacket for the night.
Despite not showcasing their sharpest performance compared to previous games, Texas A&M found a way to win, proving their resilience and determination in the SEC stretch. As Aggie fans look forward to Game 2, the team aims to carry this momentum further into the season.
