Texas A&M baseball earns comeback win over South Carolina with two 9th-inning grand slams

Texas A&M baseball joined the history books Saturday, recording a massive comeback victory over South Carolina after being down by as many as nine runs. The Aggies pulled off the thrilling walk-off win with two grand slams in the final inning to win 15-12.

The Gamecocks went ahead 12-3 after the sixth inning, powered by a seven-run fifth inning. But Texas A&M chipped away and was down 12-7 heading into the ninth.

After the Aggies loaded the bases, pinch hitter Hayden Schott pulled Texas A&M within one run after hitting the first grand slam of the inning. Shortstop Kaeden Kent then hit the second to give the Aggies the walk-off win.

Kent, who led the team with four runs and four hits, scored on the first grand slam as well. Then, the junior became his team's hero with a slam of his own.

It's the 24th time in NCAA history a team has hit two grand slams in an inning, according to the record book. The last time that happened was in 2018; it's just the fourth double-grand slam inning in the past 20 years in the NCAA.

With Saturday's win, the Aggies swept the three-game series and moved to 6-9 in the SEC (20-15 overall). Texas A&M is now on a six-game win streak, beating the Gamecocks 8-7 on Thursday in 10 innings and 17-0 on Friday via mercy rule.
