Shawn Schumacher is not a hero in real life —
he just plays one on the baseball field.
The senior catcher from Carthage, Texas,
flashed his heroics not once, but twice this past
weekend at Olsen Field as he led the fifth-ranked
Texas A&M Baseball Team to a series win over the
seventh-ranked Baylor University Bears (35-9, 16-
5 Big 12).
Schumacher was only 2-13 for the series
against Baylor with four RBls, but his two hits
were quite possibly the biggest of the season for
the Aggies (35-9, 16-4 Big 12).
His two-run single with the bases loaded in the
ninth inning Sunday capped off an 11-10 come-
from-behind win for the Aggies.
Sophomore right fielder Daylan Holt started the
Aggies off with the lead Sunday with a lead-off
home run in the second that made the score 1-0.
Throw in senior pitcher Matt Ward pitching a
perfect first three innings, and things could not
have been any better for the Aggies Sunday.
Then, in the top of the fourth, the bottom fell
out for A&M.
After singles by Baylor’s Mark Cogdill and
Jaime Bubela, Baylor second baseman Eric Nelson
hit a home run to give the Bears the lead at 3-1.
Baylor tacked on two more runs in the top of
the fifth when Cogdill homered for the Bears to
make it a 5-1 game.
Sophomore Chris Russ came into the game to
relieve Ward, but the Bears were not done yet.
Preston Underdown hit a bases-loaded single to
score two runs in the top of the sixth to make the
score 7-1 in favor of the Bears.
Holt highlighted the Aggie comeback in the
bottom of the seventh when he sent Baylor re
liever Kyle Evans’ first pitch of the game over the
left field wall for a three-run home run to tie up
the game at seven.
Baylor came right back in the top of the eighth
as they scored three runs to make the score 10-7.
A&M head coach Mark Johnson said the Bay
lor rally almost took the wind out of the team’s
sails after its big comeback.
“We came back and had the crowd behind us
and our guys were pumped,” Johnson said.
“Then they picked up three more runs, and we
just went back down.”
They were not down for long, though, as the
Aggies responded with two runs of their own in
the bottom of the eighth on a Sean Heaney triple
to close the gap to 10-9.
Schumacher then came through for the Aggies
A&M baseball players mob catcher Shawn Sch
double in the bottom of the ninth gave the Aggi
in the bottom of the ninth as he drove a pitch into
left field for the game-winning hit.
“We did have some magic going today,” John
son said. “Holt had a great day and Schumacher
came through for us once again.”
Freshman pitcher Khalid Ballouli (5-0) pitched a
third of an inning to pick up the win for the Aggies.
Baylor pitcher Mark Outlaw (4-2), who gave up
the double to Schumacher, took the loss for Baylor.

heels of his heroics Saturday night.

Junior pitcher Chance Caple, who started the

a direct effect on the outcome of the game.
“We knew it was going to come together some
time,” Caple said. "Olsen Field brings a little mag

With Baylor holding the lead most of the game,
