A&M sweeps Kentucky in
weekend marred by rain
Aggies slip on last day of competition
By Andre Perrard
After two days of heavy rain in Lex-
ington, Ky., the Aggies finally took
the field on Saturday afternoon against the
Kentucky Wildcats. Because of the weath
er, the three-game series was made into
a double header with two seven-inning
games. A&M claimed them both to earn
its 30th win of the season and assert itself
as the top team in the nation.
Kentucky (18-13, 4-7 SEC) came in
upset-minded after winning the series at
former No. 1 LSU last weekend. On Sat
urday, however, the Aggies put those ideas
to bed.
In game one, the Aggies (30-2, 9-2
SEC) trailed early after Kentucky scored
a run in the first. However, A&M re
sponded in the fourth with RBIs from
J.B. Moss and Ronnie Gideon to take a
2-1 advantage.
In the fifth, the A&M offense produced
three runs thanks to back-to-back home
runs from Blake Allemand and Mitchell
Nau, giving the Aggies a 5-1 lead after
five frames. Kentucky made it interesting
in the seventh inning, but could not capi
talize, handing the Aggies a 5-2 victory.
Grayson Long earned the win on the
mound for the Aggies to move to 6-0 on
the year. Long went 4 1/3 innings, sur
rendering only one run on six hits while
striking out six Wildcats on the afternoon.
Andrew Vinson came in behind him to
earn his first save of the season in 2 2/3
innings of work.
A&M started fast in game two. In the
first inning, Nick Banks hit his third home
run of the season to give the Aggies a 2-0
lead after one. Kentucky responded, hit
ting a solo home run the next inning to
cut the Aggie advantage. Mitchell Nau hit
his second home run of the day in the third
inning to give A&M a 3-1 lead. Kentucky
came back in the fourth with two runs to
tie the game at 3-all after five.
The sixth inning was the turning

point for the Aggies. Logan Taylor came
through with a RBI double to give A&M
a 4-3 lead. After getting a runner on, J.B.
Moss added on to his big day with a two
run shot to extend the Aggie lead to 6-3
after six frames.
On the mound, Ryan Hendrix earned
the win in relief of the starter Matt Kent.
After Kent exited the game, Hendrix went
2 1/3 innings, giving up no runs on two
hits. Mark Ecker came in behind him to
earn his fourth save of the year.
With the sweep, the Aggies are the first
team to win 30 games in collegiate base
ball this season. Last year, Texas A&M did
not win its 30th game until May 4 against
LSU.
A&M will begin a nine-game homes-
tand Tuesday night when it takes on the
No. 15 Rice Owls.

^ Heading into the final
^ round of the Aggie Invita
tional, the Texas A&M men’s
golf team appeared poised to
cap off its home event at the
Traditions golf club, with both
individual and team victories.
But then Sunday happened.
Junior Ben Crancer had re
corded seven birdies in his sec
ond round Saturday to card a
-6 (66), -3 overall for the tour
nament, and established a one-
stroke lead over California’s
freshman K.K. Limbhasut.
However, Crancer strag
gled to save par coming out of
the gate Sunday, carding three
double bogeys, three bogeys
and no birdies or eagles to post
+9 (45) at the turn. Crancer
did some damage control on
the back nine, though, sprin
kling in four birdies and five
pars to bring his 18-hole score
back to a respectable +5 (77),
+2 for the tournament, but
it wasn’t enough to fend off
Limbhasut.
Limbhasut fired a solid final
round of even par (72), but he
encountered adversity of his
own as he played through the
Jack Nicklaus designed course
Limbhasut recorded four bo
geys and one double bogey,
but made six birdies, three on
each side of the turn.
Limbhasut’s final round
settled him at -2 for the tour
nament and helped him se
cure the invitational outright
by two strokes over Arkansas’s
junior Kolton Crawford and
by four strokes over A&M’s
Crancer, who ended up drop
ping two spots on the leader-
board into a tie for third with
Texas Tech’s freshman Wes
Aitac.
Crancer’s fellow teammate,
sophomore Jake Goodman,
was the only other Aggie to
finish in the top 10 after he
carded a -1 (71) Sunday to fin
ish at +6 and surge 16 spots up
ward on the leaderboard into a
tie for 10th place.
As a team, A&M also fal
tered on Sunday, backing up
its second-round -1 (287), a
tournament low, with a +16
(304) on Sunday, +30 overall,
to fall 10 strokes behind even
tual champion No. 16 Okla
homa.
The Aggies, Sooners and
the New Mexico State Aggies,
had all been tied for first enter
ing the final round of play.
However, Oklahoma’s

placed them at +20 for the
tournament and safely posi

Texas Tech, who shot even par
(288) to claim second at +23
The Aggies return to the
links Sunday for the Reveille
Challenge before heading to
St. Simons Island, Georgia, for
the SEC Championships on
