Aggies look ‘super’
A&M one step closer to College World Series
HOUSTON (AP) —
Justin Ruggiano waited until
the brink of defeat to ruin
Rice’s opportunity to defend
its national title.
Ruggiano knocked the
defending College World
Series champs out of the
NCAA tournament with a
grand slam off Philip
Humber in the eighth inning
to send Texas A&M past
Rice 7-5 Sunday.
“I was swinging for the
first pitch fastball,”
Ruggiano said. "Luckily he
gave it to me.”
The Aggies (42-20)
advance to a best-of-three
super regional next weekend
against LSU.
The Owls (46-14) lost to
Texas Southern 4-3 on
Friday night, sending them
to the loser’s bracket. They
beat Texas A&M 3-1 earli
er Sunday to face the
rematch.
But the Owls’ couldn’t
pull out another victory,
making it the first time in
four years that Rice had not
advanced out of its own
NCAA regional at
Reckling Park.
“It was a great baseball
game,” Rice head coach
Wayne Graham said.
"Texas A&M definitely
deserved to win it.”
Kyle Nicholson (3-0) got
the victory in relief. Humber
(13-4) took the loss in relief,
giving up five hits and four
earned runs in 2 1-3 innings.
Rice (46-14) took a 5-3
lead in the top of the eighth
when Matt Cavanaugh and
Paul Janish scored on a sin
gle by Adam Rogers.
But Craig Stinson, John
Infante and Travis Bartek
all singled for the Aggies to
load the bases in the bot
tom of the eighth.
Ruggiano then hit his first
pitch from Humber for the
grand slam that proved to
be the difference.
Rice starter Josh Baker
got off to a fast start, retiring
the first 10 batters that he
faced and the Owls took an
early lead when Rogers
scored on a sacrifice fly by
Clay Reichenbach.
Cliff Pennington, named
the tournament’s Most
Outstanding Player, got
Texas A&M’s first run when
he walked and then scored
on Austin Boggs’ single in
the fourth.
“Today was awesome,”
Pennington said,” It feels
nice.”
Boggs was forced to
leave the game in the sixth
inning when he collapsed
from dehydration while fac
ing a 2-2 count. Pinch hitter
Matt Alexander stepped in
and doubled to score
Pennington and give the
Aggies a 2-1 lead.
“Matt will remember
that for a long time and I
will to,” A&M head coach
Mark Johnson said. “It was
a big hit.”
Coby Mavroulis’ sacrifice
fly later that inning scored
Cory Patton to give the
Aggies a 3-1 lead.
