Sixth-ranked Aggies to battle SHSU
A&M Baseball Team looks to continue home dominance
BY AARON COHAN
The Battalion
Coming off a three-game sweep of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, the sixth-ranked Texas
A&M Baseball Team will look to keep its mo
mentum when it faces Sam Houston State Uni
versity tonight at Olsen Field.
The first pitch will be thrown at 7 p.m. as the
Aggies try to throw SHSU for their 20th home
win of the season.
Last weekend, the 18th-ranked Huskers were
the hottest team in the Big 12, boasting an 11-
game winning streak. But the Aggies pounded
out hit after hit backed by strong pitching, pro-
pelleing them back into second place in the Big
12 conference behind Baylor University.
A&M coach Mark Johnson said momentum
from the weekend wins and the home-field ad
vantage should help the Aggies to a win.
“Playing at home makes it real easy for us since
we’ve played well all year long here,” he said.
“But like I’ve said before, you can’t overlook these
guys [SHSU], because they’ll be ready.”
Revenge will most likely be on the Bearkats’
minds after losing a late lead in the teams’ first
meeting of the season, 7-3.
The Bearkats have not announced their start
ing pitcher for the game, but shortstop Kelly Ed-
dlemon certainly will be in the lineup. The
sophomore, one of the most productive hitters
in Sam Houston history, is averaging over .400
at the plate with 16 long balls and 66 RBI’s this
season.
But Eddlemon has not been able to put his
team over the top by himself, as the Bearkats
have struggled to a 16-16 record and a 4-8 mark
in conference play to rank second-to-last in the
Southland.
For A&M, senior pitcher Kyle Holle will get
the second start of his A&M career. The left-han
der won in his only start last season against
Houston Baptist University, giving up just one
run in five innings of work.
Holle, who has a 1-0 record with a 1.69 ERA
this season, said he is looking forward to the op
portunity.
“I am happy to get the chance to start,” Holle
said. “I hope I can give us a chance to win.”
Giving Holle some breathing room will be the
Aggie bats. The Aggies’ everyday starters have
hoisted a batting average of over .350 this sea
son and boast an on-base percentage of .425.
One of those starters, Dell Lindsey, is coming off
an immense weekend that helped him earn Big
12 Player of the Week, whacking nine hits in 12
plate appearances, going yard on three of them.
Lindsey, who leads the team in batting aver
age, said he has just tried to do his part for the
Aggies.
“I came here, and the coaches put a lot of
confidence in me and my game,” he said. “I just
want to help the team in any way that I can.”
