The other half of A&M’s hurdling

“We did a great job in the hurdles

a phenomenal job out there of staying
focused on the race. They both beat
some quality competition, and I’m just
extremely proud of those guys.”

THE BATTALION Page7
Oklahoma puts broom to Aggies
A&M baseball team swept at home for first time since 1991 season
GUY ROGHRS/1 III Battalion
Texas A&M second baseman Sean Heaney fields the ball to tag Oklahoma’s Sean Murphy on Friday. The Ag
gies lost 3-1 in the first game of the three game conference series.
BY JASON LINCOLN
The Battalion
After nine seasons the Olsen Field
magic finally gave way.
For the first time since 1991 the
Texas A&M baseball team was swept on
its home field. The culprit: Oklahoma.
The Sooners defeated A&M 3-1,5-2
and 5-1 over the three-game series.
“It was a little bit of a shocker to
come out and finish that short,” A&M
baseball coach Mark Johnson said.
“It’s not a good feeling hut it’s part of
the dues you have to spend every once
in a while.”
The Aggies entered the series rid
ing a hot streak, winning eight of their
last nine games and boasting a 10-6
ranking — good enough for second
place in the conference standings.
That all evaporated as the Sooners
played their best baseball of the season
to shut down the Aggie offense for a trio
of wins.
“You never expect to beat a team like
this in their own house,” said Sooners’
relief pitcher Jeff Bajenaru.
Oklahoma allowed only four runs,
had zero errors and strung together the
timely hits necessary to score 13 runs.
"It’s been a long time since I can re
member us playing complete baseball
like this weekend,” OU baseball coach
Larry Cochell said.
It all started with pitching as Baje
naru entered to record the final out in
each contest and to record a pair of saves.
Bajenaru did not record a save in Sun
day’s game, because he entered with OU
already up by four runs.
Meanwhile A&M struggled on the
mound, allowing 27 hits over the
three games.
The Aggies also struggled at the
plate. The leadoff four hitters for the
Aggies had a combined six hits on 43
trips to the plate during the series. At the
same time the leader of the Aggie of
fense, Daylan Holt only had one hit
over the weekend.
“We just couldn’t make anything
happen offensively,” Johnson said.
“When the bats aren’t going, you’re not
aggressive, and it carries over to the
whole game. It’s a mentality we have
to get going.”
Sophomore left fielder Carlos
Sepulveda scored A&M’s only run in
the final game on a solo home run in
the bottom of the second inning.
Sepulveda went 2-4 from the plate on
Sunday, yet A&M was unable to fol
low through, as the OU defense kept
the Aggie bats in check. A&M only
had three more hits.
“They weren’t overpowering. They
just got the job done,” Sepulveda said.
Injuries plagued the Aggies over the
weekend. Pitcher Grant Gregg was un
able to take his usual place on the mound
for Sunday’s closer.
Catcher Jason Gremminger missed
the final two games of the series due to
a sore back.
In the second game of the series,
A&M third baseman and relief pitcher
Chris Russ broke his foot while sliding
into second base. Russ also serves as
A&M’s leadoff hitter — a position he
has excelled at lately.
“It’s like losing three players,”
Johnson said. “He had really started
becoming a catalyst for us as our lead-
off hitter.”
Russ will have surgery on Monday in
an effort to get the Aggies’ most versa
tile player back on the field before the
end of the season.
Despite the sweep, A&M’s season
outlook is not completely dim. The
Aggies are only just past the halfway
point of the conference season and
still have a respectable standing in the
Big 12 race.
“We just need to gel aggressive.
We’ve been in a couple funks this year,
and we responded well, so we’ll come
back from this one, too,” Sepulveda said.
“We get to start over tomorrow with five
games in five days.”
A&M will start its recovery attempt
at 7 p.m. in Beaumont as they face the
Lamar Cardinals in a make-up for a
rain-out earlier this season.
