The Battalion
The brooms were out in full effect
Sunday as the Texas A&M Baseball
Team completed a three-game sweep
of Oklahoma State University, the first
time OSU has ever been swept in a Big
12 series. The Aggies, ranked eighth
nationally, are now 12-2 overall and 3-
0 in Big 12 play.
Friday’s game featured a pitching
duel between two sophomores —
OSU’s Brad Smith and A&M's Casey
Possum.
The Cowboys took a three-run lead
into the seventh inning, but a four-run
rally powered by junior Steve Scar
borough gave the Aggies a lead they
did not surrender. Possum did not al
low another run as the Aggies won, 5-
3.
“1 just wanted to go out there and
pitch to win the game,” said Possum.
“I can’t remember ever staying in and
winning a close game like this one."
Possum struck out 10 OSU batters
and gave up one unearned run in the
eight innings he pitched.
Junior Chance Caple turned in an
other strong pitching performance in
the second game of the series, pitch
ing a complete game in me Aggu
4 victory. Known for his placemen
Caple overpowered the OSU hitter
whiffing nine of them.
