Tim Lai — THE BATTALION
Junior outfielder JB Moss takes an at-bat against Penn State last weekend.
Inclement weather pushes
forward Monday game time
Undefeated A&M leans on heavy
hitting lineup for upcoming games
By Andre Perrard
Texas A&M will put its undefeated re
cord on the line this week against Hous
ton Baptist Tuesday and Incarnate Word
Wednesday.
Because of expected inclement weather,
the Houston Baptist matchup has been moved
to 4:35 p.m., and the lineup for A&M has yet
to be announced.
The Huskies (5-2) are led by senior out
fielder Zach Nehrir. Coming into the game,
Nehrir has a .391 average, eight RBIs and two
triples.
So far, four Aggie starters are hitting above
a .400 average, the highest being Mitchell
Nau, who is hitting .524. Every Aggie in
the starting lineup has an RBI, and Ronnie
Gideon leads that category for A&M with 11
on the season.
As a team, A&M boasts 12 total home runs.
Six of nine Aggie starters have a home run,
and Logan Taylor leads the team with three.
Last year, Texas A&M did not hit home run
No. 12 until the 34th game of the season.
No starting pitcher has been announced
for Tuesday’s game. For last Tuesday’s game,
A&M head coach Rob Childress opted to
send out freshman Turner Larkins.
Larkins, a freshman out of Arlington, T ex-
as, saw his first start against Stephen F. Austin
last Tuesday night. In that game, Larkins went
5 1/3 innings with nine strikeouts en route
to a shutout.
Aggies will face Incarnate Word at 6:35
p.m Wednesday.
The Cardinals (4-4) are led by junior Matt
Morris, who comes in with a .429 average, six
RBIs and two home runs in the season.
A&M relies on a heavy hitting lineup, and
so far this season the first two innings of ball
games have been the deciding factor for the
Aggies. A&M is outscoring its opponents
30-1 in the first two frames of play.
FROM THE COACHES
Women's basketball head coach Gary Blair hosts his weekly radio show at Wings
'N More Monday night.
Blair boasts team’s success
at his weekly radio show
By Cole Stenholm
All-around team ball is lifting the Texas
A&M women’s basketball team as of late,
head coach Gary Blair said Monday.
In the weekly visit to Wings ’N More for
his radio show, Blair said he was impressed
with his team following its 66-46 victory over
the University of Florida Sunday.
“When the kids share the ball, everybody
gets to play, everybody’s happy and it makes
it a lot easier on the old coach,” Blair said.
Sunday’s victory marked the fourth straight
for the Aggies, who started the month ranked
seventh in Southeastern Conference stand
ings after a 4-3 stretch in conference play in
January.
The No. 12 Aggies February success surged
them up the latest conference standings into
a tie for third place with No. 11 Mississippi
State, and 3.5 games back from first-place No.
2 South Carolina University and No. 6 Uni
versity of Tennessee.
A&M will play Missouri at 7 p.m. Thurs
day in Senior Night at Reed Arena.

ARKANSAS CONTINUED
shot 18-for-33 from 3-point land while gar
nering three 20-point games.
House has had support. His teammates
down low, Kourtney Roberson and Jalen
Jones, provided much-needed help, scoring
44 and 38 points respectively in the last three
games.
When asked about the Aggies’ strategy.
Coach Kennedy explained the direction in
which the team tries to go.
“We know where we are trying to go with
the ball,” Kennedy said. “We know that we
want to get Danuel House and Jalen Jones
touches and we kind of play off of those guys.”
Tuesday will provide the opportunity for
Billy Kennedy’s Aggies to capture the pro
gram’s 14th 20-win season and the first since
2011.
A win for the Aggies could mean security
for second place, and the same goes for the
Razorbacks. When a conference is as tightly
knit as the SEC, games like these must be
taken seriously, Kennedy said.
“It obviously would be a tremendous
win,” Kennedy said. “Anytime you win in
Arkansas it is a special thing, especially this
time of the year. We both have veteran guys
that have been in our system and that we have
recruited. We are both competing to finish in
second place, which is quite an honor when
you talk about the number one team in the
country, [Kentucky]. Kentucky is the best
team in the country.”
